Wait, no Wine installed? You mean no 1.1.40, right? Because you don't need Wine to have Flash on your Linux system...

Flash has a native Linux version it will always use. Installing the Windows version of Flash doesn't do anything to your Linux system, Linux apps just use the Linux version anyway. Installing Flash in Wine is intended to get Flash in apps running in Wine working...

And yes, the Linux version of Flash is a bit crashy. [Rolling Eyes] Your best bet is to combine its usage with a browser like Chrome, which will only crash the one tab and not the entire browser if this happens.
