Can you swap one for the other?
No. Sriracha and wine are different kinds of food, so neither stands in for the other, whatever molecules they share. Treat them as partners, not stand-ins. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.

What they have in common
Almost everything sriracha carries, wine has too: 20 of sriracha's 23 flavor molecules also occur in wine. Among the shared key aromas are 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine (green bell pepper, earthy) and 1-octen-3-ol (mushroom, earthy). Most of what they share is background chemistry many foods carry, so the overlap does little for the smell. Shared chemistry is a reason to try a pair, not a promise that it works on the plate.
