saying "it doesn't work" and nothing else is sure to encourage people to
ignore your post (or to reply "it doesn't work on holidays" :)
do not forget to run 'postfix reload'.
if it still doesn' to work, follow the list recommendation:

transport_maps should work.
otherwise, a combination of virtual_alias_maps and smtp_generic_maps
also works (and is recommended for those who have a lot of traffic, but
this dooes not look to be your case):
1) use a virtual alias to map:
yourw...@example.com yourwife@nothere.example
2) use smtp_generic_maps to write the address back:
yourwife@nothere.example yourw...@example.com
yes, this works because "generic comes after transport".
