To me, this invites the reader to think "no" (even with a subtitle). How about something like "Uses of Wine Today and in the Future"?
IMO, "Is Wine Still Relevant?" sounds like a much more interesting, provocative talk.
That would be true if Wine was universally viewed as important. However there is a sentiment among free software radicals that because Wine makes it possible to run Windows applications (which are viewed as 100% non open-source), it's bad for Linux, open-source software, etc. So this title just confirms that sentiment and is thus not necessarily provocative (except on a Wine mailing list).
So I think the opposite tack would be more provocative:
What makes Wine THE most important open-source project
or
Wine: Still the most important open-source project
or for a different talk:
Status and future of the most important open-source project: Wine
