You have to install wine from the Ubuntu repositories. You'll need internet access for the PC that has ubuntu installed.
Use synaptic or the 'Add/Remove Programs' to install wine.

PCLinuxOS is far easier than ubuntu as it uses KDE desktop by default (KDE is closer to windows GUI ) and PCLinuxOS is around 700mb (1 CD ).
Mandriva is bigger. It fits 1 DVD.
