The only thing that determines when a wing will stall is AOA.  Steady state 
wind has no effect. 
A wing will stall at the same angle of attack.  Every time.

 I just recently had a BFR in a 172.     I honestly couldn't get it to 
stall. 
 We were at 5k ft and departure stall and power off, she just wouldn't 
break. 
 That was that airplane, halfway into attempting a third stall "with the 
 wind" this time I lost all radios and was forced to make a precautionary 
 landing.    We returned.   That night I took a different 172 up, and tried 
 the stall again, that one broke easily into and with the wind.    So in 
 answer to your question, I don't know.    It may very well be airplane 
 specific.   But like you, I had the stick in my gut everytime, and one 
plane 
 wouldn't break, and the other did.    Heck, I almost had a spin going with 
 the second airplane on one attempt.

  Oh, excellent point.  Absolutely on the head of the nail! 
  
  All those clean break stalls were with someone in the other seat.
