So I'm going to be visiting my friends in up state New York and one of my friends has offered to let me stay on their couch for a while. My question is should I buy them a gift to kind of say thanks for letting me stay? A nice bottle of wine perhapses? Or should I just offer to help around the house and possibly cook a few meals?

A nice thank you gift and some services around the place so they know you don't think of them as a free hotel. You have a kind heart.

If they are wine enthusiasts a good wine is great. Be tidy, but don't offer to clean their house too much unless they ask for you specifically for help. Make sure it is something in mind for the people of the house as a whole. The alcohol question is a tough one because I almost bought a bottle of scotch and I found out at the last minute that the wife was trying to get her husband to quit drinking. I found out because I asked what kind of scotch they enjoyed. She said not to get that, but loved the plant and me just being a good considerate guest.
