Defences were well on top in a fiercely contested first half and the only real chance came in stoppage time.
Ricardo Fuller was too strong and too quick for Kevin Foley before he rolled the ball into the path of Liam Lawrence.
Lawrence struck his shot well enough, but it came at a comfortable height for Wayne Hennessey who was not seriously extended.
Wolves did give as good as they got in that first period and their best opening was struck high and wide by Stephen Ward.
Both sides showed a greater desire to win the game in the second half and Lawrence again shot too close to Hennessey.
And Fuller was presented with the best opportunity of the match in the 63rd minute following a mistake by Darren Ward.
The centre-back's poor header dropped straight into Fuller's path but his left-foot shot drifted inches wide.
It was then Wolves' turn to build up a head of steam as Steve Simonsen saved a header from Ward and Michael Kightly shot wide.
Stoke threw on Jon Parkin for Lawrence 11 minutes from time to see if the former Hull striker could score as a substitute for a third successive game.
But Wolves, who had just a touch of extra zip about their play, also had ambitions of victory with Andy Keogh threatening to burst clear.
Rory Delap had one last chance to win it for Stoke two minutes from time but he lost his footing as he attempted to round Hennessey from Parkin's pass.
The best performances on the field came from defenders with Stoke's Clint Hill and Wolves skipper Gary Breen both outstanding.
