We have a wall mount wine rack mounted to drywall, but not to the studs. The anchors have collapsed (twice) and we patched the holes.
I haven't been able to find any information on re-using the existing holes AND ensuring that the re-use can sustain the heavy weight.
How can we reinforce & re-use the existing holes to make sure there is no future collapse?

You are simply putting too much weight onto the drywall. Options:
There is a possibility that you could hang it with new larger anchors, but we would need to know what exactly you are hanging and what anchoring you are using. If you used little 15lb picture frame kind of anchors, you can probably get the 75lb drywall screw-type anchors and reuse the holes, but not if the rack is going to be 100lbs when loaded.
