Place wine, vinegar, water, and salt in a pot.
Pull off hard leaves on the stem of the artichokes; cut the end off the stems; peel with a knife. Cut artichokes in halves leaving the stems intact; place in the pot. Cover with parchment paper, tucking in around the edges to create a lid. Simmer over medium-low heat until very tender, about 30 minutes. Once cooked, cool slightly; remove hard pink inner leaves and hairy chokes.
Mix the marinade:
Stir together oil, garlic, oregano, lemon zest, black pepper, red pepper flakes and salt. Spoon onto the cut sides of the artichokes, making sure it penetrates the leaves.
Make the lemon aioli:
Place egg yolks, garlic cloves, vinegar, lemon juice and water in a food processor; turn on; blend for 1 minute. With the food processor on, drizzle oil in slowly. Add lemon zest and salt; mix well to combine.
Finish artichokes:
Place artichokes cut side down on a hot grill; cook until dark grill marks have formed; flip; cook briefly.
Drizzle lemon olive oil on cut sides, sprinkle with salt and chives. Serve with lemon aioli.
