See http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages. Specifically:

The easiest way to set up an Ubuntu system is to use a shell script
that installs the above packages:

    * Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10) http://kegel.com/wine/gutsy.sh
    * Feisty Fawn (Ubuntu 7.04) http://kegel.com/wine/feisty.sh
    * Edgy Eft (Ubuntu 6.10) http://kegel.com/wine/edgy.sh
    * Dapper Drake (Ubuntu 6.06) http://kegel.com/wine/dapper.sh
    * Breezy Badger (Ubuntu 5.11) http://kegel.com/wine/breezy.sh

After which, you can follow the instructions at
http://www.winehq.org/site/git to get the lastest version of the code.
