It doesn't exist, but ostensibly this recipe just wants the flavor of bourbon, so I would imagine using bourbon whiskey would yield the results you are after. (Bourbon whiskey is used in all manner of recipes, from barbeque to desserts.)
Maybe "wine" was a typo. If it's hyphenated, I'm guessing the use of both bourbon and some sort of wine is called for
The main difference between a whiskey and a wine is that the former is distilled while the latter is only fermented. And generally, among beverages that are only fermented, "wine" refers to something fruit based while "beer" or "ale" refers to something grain based.
As the "bourbon" type of whiskey in particular is made from corn, if it were not distilled, it generally would be more properly considered a "beer" than a "wine" as corn is considered a grain. (Similarly, while many refer to sake as "rice wine" it's more accurate to refer to it as rice beer.)
A hobbyist may make a grain-based fermented beverage that tastes similar to bourbon whiskey without being distilled, but I think at present such a beverage isn't commercially available.
But the bottom line is you're going for the bourbon taste, so bourbon whiskey is the way to go.
Generally speaking, Jim Beam is the entry level bourbon and more specialized brands are available as well.

I did some research on the Internet and couldn't fine bourbon wine either, but I did find a recipe for Filet Mignon and Portobello Mushrooms with Bourbon Wine Sauce, which you might want to take a look at.
They use regular Bourbon and mix in other ingrediants to get the sauce.

Bourbon is bourbon. Wine is wine. Re read the ingredient?
