I'd use yum (assuming it follows the Redhat model and uses it as its
package manager. 

"yum line 'wine*'" shows what packages are installed. 

My 32 bit Fedora 16 system shows many more installed packages than
you've listed for Wine 1.3.37.

"yum erase 'wine*'" will wipe them out.

'yum install packagename...' will put the 32 bit wine packages back.
You'll have to work out what name to use for 32 bit packages from a 64
bit distro install, but FWIW all my wine packages have 'arch' set to
i686, e.g. wine.i686.rpm, so 'wine*.i686' might be a good starting
point. Check it first with 'yum list 'wine*.i686' and then run 'yum info
packagename' on the first listed package to see if it looks like what
you want.
