Since I recently provided instructions elsewhere, here is a copy. I 
would ignore the tarball method mentioned in the wine documentation; I 
consider it more trouble than it is worth. This takes only a few 
minutes, other than the time spent waiting for the Wine compile to 
complete.

First uninstall the Wine that you have (you can always reinstall it 
later if desired). Then..

Create the file ~/.cvspass and put in the line:
:pserver:cvs at cvs.winehq.com:/home/wine Ah<Z

Create the file ~/.cvsrc and put in:
cvs -z 3
update -PAd
diff -u

Type "cvs checkout wine", and in a few minutes (assuming a reasonable
internet connection) you should have a complete Wine tree. CD into it
and type "./tools/wineinstall", or do it manually:
./configure
make depend
make
make install (as root)

And you should then be ready to go. That really should be all there is 
to it. Then in the future to update, you just CD into the wine directory 
and type "cvs update", and then redo the last four steps above.
