For Wine, I'd just use:

# LC_ALL=he_IL.UTF-8 wine PROGRAM

Far more than konsole use .bashrc - as it says, it's invoked for all
non-login shells.  .bash_profile is invoked for login shells, and may
invoke .bashrc (iirc, that's commented out in the default .bash_profile),
so might be a better place for shell environment variables.

Then there's ~/.xsession, which should be invoked by all X sessions (if it
exists).  I think you need to either put your variable in there
or .bash_profile.
