Which wine region? You've ruled out Eger and based on your timings you've also ruled out Tokaji. Gyor not included, Esterhauzhy (I always spell that wrong) is too far. Now there may a little wine area left, just my memory fails me. Which one do you plan to visit?
BTW, I'd go for Eger and the Valley of the women or the virgins ( i forget which) not a great experience but interesting.

pichulita,
I like your new allocation of time in each location. May I suggest that you make final decisions about your day trips once you arrive -- you can then play it by ear based on weather and on whatever strikes your fancy at the time.
When you say that you don't need recommendations on where to eat... does that mean you have restaurant recommendations to share here? We'll be in Budapest and Vienna in a few weeks and, although I have some specific plans for restaurants, I'd be interested in further input.

There is a direct overnight train on the Krakow <=> Prague route. You can also travel in the day, with 1 or 2 connections.
In the summer 2017 season (April-September), there will be a new direct train operating on this route in the daytime. You'll be able to get on in Krakow and get off in Prague (and vice-versa). Trains will depart mid-morning in each direction, arriving Prague late afternoon.
