http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine/openSUSE_12.1/x86_64/
has wine-32bit-1.4-3.1.x86_64.rpm which is likely what you want (i.e.
if you only run 32 bit Win apps)

You should add the repository: see
http://en.opensuse.org/Wine#Repositories and your distrib's doc for
how to do that
