Monoammonium phosphate and diammonium phosphate contain all the same chemical compounds (phosphate ions, ammonium ions, and hydrogen ions), the major difference is that MAP has a second hydrogen in place of the ammonium.

So, if you buy food grade stuff, it should be totally safe to consume, however, pH is determined by those hydrogen ions, so your wine may end up being more acidic. I'm not sure on this last part (you could calculate it with the Ka of H2PO4 vs HPO4). If you fordon't have other options, it's worth a shot.
