A friend of mine once argued:
Wisdom is a "specialized" knowledge which is a direct result
of a posteriori which means it comes from experience. However intelligence is accumulated through experience as well, and there can be no other real alternatives. Think about studying for instance, It is an activity which is being experienced as well, but is regarded as the soul source of intelligence. So wisdom can't be in a separate category to intelligence, if so it would be a 'specialized' form of intelligence, but intelligence none-the-less.
Also if wisdom is the tautological (logically correct) application of knowledge, the position of having the ability to know how to do this can be said to be intelligence because knowledge regardless of context is knowledge and the position of obtaining knowledge is intelligence. So they are not separate things.

Wisdom comes with experience and age...intelligence is more genetic. I have a child with a 158 IQ. He is much smarter than me by far. He can figure things out in the blink of an eye where as I with my mere 128 and aging dying brain cells have to think longer to understand, but...I have wisdom that he does not and understand matters that he has not perceived to become enlightened upon at his youthful 22 years of age.

I know some people that are very intelligent but they are lost in terms of wisdom. I believe in the concept of many types of intelligences and wisdom is probably one.

Intelligence is learned from text books and higher education while wisdom comes from the lessons that only life can teach us... both are significant to our overall success..

To me, intelligence in raw knowledge, while wisdom is applied knowledge. Essentially, wisdom is knowing how to best use your intelligence.

I believe that "wisdom" and "intelligence" go hand in hand.
