At a command line you could always type 
# updatedb
Wiat for that to finish and then 
# locate wine
Any file/folder with "wine" in the name should zip by.  Look through
that list and if you find it cd to the directory and try to run ./wine
or whatever.

Hope that helps.  I myself have had mixed results with wine.  Very
buggy.  Constant version conflicts, crashes, program incompatibility,
etc.

I have settled with if someone *really* needs a windows app they need to
get a windows terminal server to run it to be stable (well, as stable as
Windows can be :-)
