Wine does not use video memory directly - OpenGL API does not allow that. Wine just creates objects (for example textures) and it's up to OGL where they are allocated.
Wine just "simulates" amount of memory for windows apps that want to know how much there is and how much left.

No, you will have to enable d3d debug channel and grep for "GetAvailableTextureMem"
