There are no plans to add Wine to /release repository by now (no ARC 
case I'm aware of).

However, anyone can use SourceJuicer [1] and SFE wine spec file [2] to 
contribute latest Wine release to /pending repo and ask /contrib repo 
maintainers to update the package here.

*rumour*
IMO one of technical barriers preventing Wine in /release repo could be 
  that Wine doesn't compile with SunStudio compiler, only with gcc.
