Wine is in the Ubuntu repository so you can install it just as you would install any other application. You can install software through various methods, one quick way is to use the command line:

1) Open a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal)
2) Run the following command

sudo apt-get install wine

3) Enter password when prompted and then press y when asked to confirm.

There are also a number of graphical tools to install software. Please see these documents for more information:
