Menus don't come from ~/.local/share/desktop-directories. Files under ~/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine-*.menu link in ~/.local/share/desktop-directories/* and .desktop files from ~/.local/share/applications/wine/*. Check all those exist.
They do. I've emptied them of all files and started from scratch.
