Default 12v auto pump from 110v?

Can a 12v windshield wiper pump be run from a wall wart? I am putting
together a mist system for a terrarium, so it will run about 1 minute
2-3 times a day or so. If it will run from a wall wart any suggestions
would be great.

Is it "tap" water (pressurized)? If so just use a mist nozzle from an
outdoor "bubbler" irrigation system, and a solenoid valve body
(nominally 28V, but AC, so all you need is a transformer).

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
