The Wine Ubuntu repository provides the newest development versions of Wine. Also, consider using Qemu instead of Wine if you need a complete Windows installation. Please consider if you really need to run the specific Windows program because in most cases, its equivalent can be provided by an OpenSource program. If you are running the latest release of Wine which is v1.6, you can get further assistance on the #winehq IRC channel on. They also have an Ubuntu page with installation and build advice. Wine allows you to run many Windows programs on Linux.
