No, their's only a root account for your linux system. You should run 
wine always as a normal user.

I don't know what you're about to do, but if that message comes from the 
windows program you're trying to install, you can safely ignore it.
But you should _definitely not_ run wine as super user! Give us more 
details, but don't try this as root.
