As I mentioned, this is not related to wine. Your error says that the
program wants to open a display to you and can't. You have to fix this
first. So:

- after you shh to the linux box try to open any application that uses a
  display (e.g. xterm); does this work? No! Make this to work first,
  then continue with wine!
- type (on the linux box) echo $DISPLAY to see where your display is
  forwarded to; it has to be something like :10.0 to be a forwarding
  over ssh; if it's not you have to enable forwarding of X11 via ssh
  first
