You did not mention whether you want to have this license only or to have Wine licensed also with some open-source license?
I think in this case even GPL can be a choice for the second license.
Under the WineCorp approach, the AFPL + an allowance for commercial redistribution if Wine code is returned is essentially equivalent to the LGPL. It's more flexible though, since it allows for the possibility of other unforseen ways in which commercial redistribution without immediate release of source would be possible.
It would also be possible for the WineCorp to allow certain portions or all of the code to be dual-licensed under the LGPL and mixed with other GPL or LGPLed projects.
