Yes:
$ wine winetest -t your-tag-here

FWIW:
Usage: winetest [OPTION]...

  -c       console mode, no GUI
  -e       preserve the environment
  -h       print this message and exit
  -p       shutdown when the tests are done
  -q       quiet mode, no output at all
  -o FILE  put report into FILE, do not submit
  -s FILE  submit FILE, do not run tests
  -t TAG   include TAG of characters [-.0-9a-zA-Z] in the report

You probably want:
$ wine winetest -c -t your-tag-here

I doubt you want to force users to install something. Those that would
be using this script should already have git, or now how to get it
themselves.
