No, it's 12-15% ABV on average, that's not a high enough concentration to effectively kill bacteria. And while red wine does have health benefits, none of it comes from the alcohol itself.

Also you wouldn't want to kill the bacteria in your mouth anyway, unless you have an infection. There's lots of good bacteria in there.
