As above, don't apply for a visitors visa - it will be refused as your wife would not be able to prove she will leave at the end of it, and don't appeal the decision for the spouse visa - it will take too long. Either ask the Manager to review in light of additional documentation (they don't have to agree to do this). Or make a fresh application and include ALL relevant documentation this time, if the visa was refused simply because you failed to include your divorce certificate then you shouldn't have a problem with your new application.
You can submit a fresh application while an appeal is pending so if for some reason it is also refused you won't have to start over and lose your appeal date.
