For the most part?  No.  Wine does things which are bad for system
security.  You can disable security just for wine (define wine as a
permissive domain using semanage) of you can allow the things it wants
using the booleans which I'm guessing setroubleshoot suggested.

You are much better off allowing the mmap_zero boolean than you are
setting the mmap_zero proc tunable to 0.

As for execmem I'm surprised that one isn't already being allowed, might
be a bug?
