So why do Wolfe characters almost always drink mate (that's ma-TAY, no
accent ague here, alas) and if they don't, at least mention it?  More
of the Borges/South America influence?

I've also noticed that Wolfe characters are more likely to shake their
heads than say "no".

I don't think there's any significance to these things, but I have
noted them in quite a few of his books and stories.
