how to get wine working

ok i got redaht linux 8.0 on my computer and i installed wine(the newest version), but it doesnt work. i am kinda new to linux and i just cant figure out how to start the program. i cant find an executable or something like that i only found one in some directory(i think /etc/bin) but nothing happened when i open it. in some other directories there was stuff of wine , but nothing that could be run. i also got a bunch of .patch files i am supposed to aply to wine but i dont know what to do with em, if i open em they just open as texts.
thanks in advance
