What should it be good for, to have a menu entry for wine? AFAIK wine isn't a
program or virtual machine you could launch without a windows app.
IIRC you need to launch a windows executable by wine
wine "c:\path\to\the_app_name.exe"
To get this as a menu entry for all users, create a desktop file in
/usr/share/applications/
name it
the_app_name.desktop
Content:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
Exec=wine "c:\path\to\the_app_name.exe"
Icon=icon_of_app.exe
Name=the_app_name
Categories=Some_that_fits_1;Some_that_fits_2;
Take a look at other desktop files, to learn more about those files.

Ralf
