DANGER

Never use wine with sudo. Windows apps always run with admin rights in wine. No sudo needed sometimes, You need to tell wine to start an app as a "normal user" but, you never need to run it with admin rights because it already does. So from this, you could be thinking can't hurt to run wine with sudo, Right? Yes, it can hurt, or do you believe that a potential Virus wouldn't be happy to be run with root rights? Viruses work through wine like they would on Windows. sudo gives them even more privileges.
