This statistic also neglects people who install wine from source without building a package, and I know that is a non-trivial number of people.

Doing some division, this means that a rather high 37% of Ubuntu users have Wine installed, and 10% of all Ubuntu users actually make use of Wine. 7% use Wine "frequently", however popcon defines that.
Combine this with other estimates of Ubuntu's user base (about 8 million last I heard), and you have approximately 800,000 Wine users.
