Well i noticed this problem in Mint 13 and 14. The PPA instructions on the Ubuntu page would work fine, but mint's distribution codename (i.e. maya and nadia) rather than the ubuntu's codename (i.e. precise and quantal) is being added. This is not an isolated issue for the wine PPA, this is for all PPAs added through the software sources gui or terminal. I've tested the ubuntu PPA instructions on Mint 15 and 16 and it work correctly.
Maybe a simple addition to the ubuntu page stating that these instructions also work for Linux Mint 15 and above would be useful. And then providing instructions for Mint 13 users, that they should use `deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu precise main` in the gui and `sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu precise main"` in the terminal. As Mint 14 is no supported, i'm not sure if instructions should be added for it.
At best you'd make up a new site like the ubuntu one (or append to it) and patch the website.git at source.winehq.org/git/ send that to wine-patches mailinglist or attach it here for review
I think we should take Mint into account as they advertising Wine in their installer!
