The Wine you have, presumably installed from a distro package, is not what you
need. To patch Wine, you have to build it yourself: download the source code
either from git or in a tarball, apply the patch, then build it. The section of
the FAQ that I referred you to has links to pages detailing all of these steps.
You are going to have to read all of them and follow the directions.
