Wisteria is sensitive to exessively wet soil. It needs very good drainage.
If it is a grafted wisteria then graft failure is not uncommon. Just wait and see what happens next year.
Wisteria problem caused by lack of moisture, fluctuating growing conditions, frost or wind damage at any time between bud formation until flowering. Ensuring plants are healthy and not stressed will go some way in minimising weather damage. Watering, feeding, mulching and '*plant care*'

will keep plants healthy, and also pay attention to soil health.
