In either case, you probably want to bundle the Wine runtime with the app rather than trying to run against whatever Wine the user has.
I guess this is because wine is such a moving target? It seems a shame to bundle a copy of wine with every single app, although I can definitely see how commercial products would want to do that to improve repeatability. One would hope that all the automated testing wine is doing lately would reduce the need for this kind of thing eventually.
Commercial apps should continue bundling their own wine no matter what we do, I think. It'll be a while before they can count on everyone already having a wine installed that can handle their app. And security concerns might prevent wine from being installed by default on some distros.
