sudo apt-get install <"program_name" here for example wine>

To anser the first part of your question, when updates are applied all the .deb files end up in the following directory /var/cache/
You can't really use this directory to install wine. You can install from the Software Center or from the command line with
sudo apt-get install wine
After you install wine it will end up if the afore mentioned cache directory.
