If "In vino veritas" means "In wine, truth," then what is the proper
Latin for "In wine, untruth"?

The closest I know is "In vino perfidia," but this implies dishonesty,
rather than mere error.

Can anyone suggest alternative translations in Latin? (Is "In vino
inveritas" correct?)

Sincerely,

I think your question makes no sense, because there is no opposite to "in vino
veritas". An an opposite would suggest that there is no truth if there is no
drinking. Or it would mean that you cannot find truth if there is drinking.
Both of them are false.

MEANT ist with this Proverb, that People behave and speak more
unconcealed/undisguised/truthly when beeing drunk.

So, exactlier would be 'E Temetis Veriloquium [provenit]'!
= From alkoholic Drinks [arises] 'Truth-Speaking'.

The Opposite is 'Falsiloquium'.
The Opposite of 'Veritas' (Truth) is 'Falsitas' (Falseness/Untruth).

You may strive for 'In Vino Falsitas'.

Greet from the Klaus.
