First of all I'd use a bogus local display (eg. ":100") because with a
bogus hostname you'd incur in bogus DNS requests all the time.
You might want to test which way is faster, with the bogus display or
with a virtual X server.  
Oh and if you choose the former, grep the errors away :-)

Judging by wine's configure.ac, there's not an easy way to do that.
Even if there were, you couldn't use it.  As someone else pointed out,
wine doesn't even try to contact the X server unless the application
does something with graphics, and yours does, (whatever it is) so a
build of wine without X would have problems running your app.
