Here is a quick way to add the winehq repository so you dont need to wait for the ubuntu community to add the latest wine.



Open up a terminal Applications->Accessories->Terminal

Now copy/paste these commands:

Adding the gpg apt key:

wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Lets add the Repository via wget:

sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list

Now lets update our apt sources and install the latest wine!

sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install wine

Ok now you will always have the latest wine package installed!
