Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Mix together crushed crackers, bread crumbs, and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Stir together butter and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Pour butter mixture over cracker mixture. Add Parmesan cheese and pepper; mix until well combined. Stir in white wine, using only enough to hold mixture together.
