Here is a short tutorial on how to setup wine on Ubuntu:

After you install the wine package open a terminal and type in this:

sudo winecfg

This will launch the graphical wine config tool, then simply tell it which operating system you want it to mimic, most select windows xp. Then configure your screen resolution so it matches your desktop.

There’s a pretty concise description of obtaining WINE and unpacking it at WINE’s website:

http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb/

Just go to http://appdb.winehq.org and see if your applications is on the list of compatible programs.
