Hi Sarah,
My best experiences were with olive oil. But that was for fenugreek seed. PM is a root, and that means the recipe is the same as for seeds. Wine won't do, if you want a hydroalcoholic extract, you'll need vodka, yes. A Polish one isn't too expensive.
If you want to make a lotion afterwards anyway, try glycerin. Only, I don't know how much of the goodies will be left in the spent powder. Experiment with the kitchen blender, the micowave, the oven or a slow cooker. Set it below the water boiling point, as for making tea. Because glycerin is a liquid with a high boiling point, you can leave it covered in the oven for hours. Glycerin smooths the skin. It's the major ingredient in any lotion base, condom and elastic friendly, and less dangerous in the sun than alcohol.
The solvency is similar to that of alcohol, meaning it will extract the same chemicals from the powder that alcohol would. There is a chance that miroestrol dissolves better in olive oil: you can compare the two extracts. In earlier posts I linked a publication that reported activity in an extract in water. It was made in 24 hours in a soxhlet extractor. You can mimic that in the oven, or in a coffee percolator. Check regularly to make sure the water doesn't dry up.
Karen just wrote in my program thread yesterday that lowering the dose is more effective than breaking, so yes, you can keep using the cream. Do keep using SP.
