Not all distro's use lsb_release. /etc/release, /etc/issue,
/etc/redhat-release, etc. are other popular ways to get that info.
Keep in mind, not everyone uses Linux ;-). `uname -s` will give you
the OS type (in a portable way).

It'd be better to take WINE as an environmental variable first, that
way the user can specify which they want. E.g., I keep 'vanilla' wine
installed in /usr/local/bin, but when testing, may run from
$HOME/wine-git. Many users have custom versions in random places. You
should use wine="`which wine`" as a fallback.

Not sure what you're trying to do with the 'export ...'. Was that
meant to a comment? Output to the log?

the '[ ] ; then' isn't portable (just found this out myself ;-) ). Put
the 'then' on a separate line, remove the ';'.

Move this up earlier with the wine check.

Should be $wine
