If the version of Wine you want does not exist in package form, you can download the source code yourself and compile it on your machine. Although this might seem a little intimidating at first if you've never done it, you'll find that it'll often go quite smoothly, especially on the newer Linux distributions.
The safest way to grab the source is from one of the official FTP archives. An up to date listing is in the ANNOUNCE file in the Wine distribution (which you would have if you already downloaded it). Here is a (possibly out of date) list of FTP servers carrying Wine:
The official releases are tagged by date with the format "Wine-YYYYMMDD.tar.gz". Your best bet is to grab the latest one.
FIXME: Explain how to un-tar, compile, and install Wine from a tarball.
