A quick google using only "wine ppa" gives
ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
Open software sources or Synaptic
Choose add additional source
paste the above in
reload and wine should be 1.6

Open a Terminal
sudo apt-add-ppa ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
apt update
apt upgrade
(or apt install wine if it wasn't installed)
This I find easier than messing about with the GUI's but that's just me

I need to get a later version of wine, because 1.4.1 does not work properly with my cwcom prog, which I am AGAIN trying to get working...
well, it does work... it connects to the internet, but not by the comport... which is what I really really want to do... despite trying to follow the COMPORT thread previously, when I did manage to get it to connect with the ComPort. !..
so now I am going to KILL that window.... and do another re-install... if you are interested in the Terminal readout... see my blogsite http://nemosphotography.blogspot.co.uk/ ; I will leave it there for the rest of the evening, and then take it down....

Remove the ~/.wine folder (In the file manager press Ctrl+H to show hidden files) then remove the .wine folder - everything now gone.
OR
Open a terminal
killall wine
rm -rf ~/.wine
apt remove --purge wine
then the rest of what I put in above with the apt install wine at the end.

not sure how I managed that.. but......
(didn`t re-install because wine wasn`t working...but because the process started in Terminal... had stopped, and nothing was progressing. which caused corruption on the packages... re-install was the only way I could see to "stop/kill" the process, and start afresh..)
so now,... if I do the top three lines of your previous post, then....... I should end up with wine 1.6 ? ? ? ?
how long do you estimate that will take ?

use "apt-add-repository" rather than ppa.
I am so used to using tab to complete the command I forget the correct one,
