--exclude-dir uses GLOB expressions which are different than REs.  You
can have multiple --exclude-dir directives, however.  The name matching
is recursive, so the above is a little tricky to handle.  Something like
this gets you close, however.

sudo grep "Firefox is already" -r -H --devices=skip --exclude-dir=media --exclude-dir=proc  --exclude-dir .wine /

This will exclude any directory at an level whose name is "media", "proc" or ".wine".

I am not sure why you are doing this, unless you think the lockfile contains the message.
