Wine HQ is always the best place to begin looking for information on Wine for any main-stream distribution. This will lead you to the Fedora Project.

Wine HQ: http://www.winehq.com
Fedora distro Wiki: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AndreasBierfert/Wine

Sorry! For some weird reason I had RedHat on the brain! For Ubuntu it will lead to their own generic Debian instructions:

I would recommend using distribution packages instead.
Here is the official Ubuntu howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine

Please specify what steps are you having problems with.
