I believe you have an FC? system right? If it was an rpm do, "rpm -qa| 
grep wine" to get the exact rpm name then "rpm -e whateverthenamewas". 
If you compiled it in you could just whack the dir holding it, probably 
in /usr/local/bin or /usr/local. Do a "locate" to find all the spots it 
might be in and make sure you get rid of any symlinks that may be in 
your path(s).
