In my app startup, I look for the environmental variable "_".  Under 
Windows, it will likely not even exist.  Under Wine, it will tell you 
something like "/usr/local/bin/wine".  I save this to a global variable 
called _WINE.  That way, no matter where I am in my app I can check the 
value of _WINE to decide which branch to execute.  I haven't had to use 
this yet, and hope not to, but built it in already just in case.
