existing wine run applications. Running following command from the console should be good enough for this.
rm -r ~/.wine

To avoid any oops, suggest the following:
$ cd $HOME $ ls -d ./.wine $ rm -fr ./.wine
Could be a dumb question - won't this blow away all wine apps? What if there is a need to just uninstall *one* app?
No it is not a dumb question Yes it will blow the entire wine configuration of the user.
Below is a cutout from the official wine FAQ (http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-9893ae50079ca7a959258f0bc9a17aaf2e69b391) hope it helps
3. Applications
3.1. How do I uninstall Windows applications?
Wine has its own built-in uninstaller http://wiki.winehq.org/uninstaller - equivalent of Windows "add/remove programs" function for running standardized uninstallers. In recent version, a shortcut has been added in Wine's menu, along with a shortcut to winecfg http://wiki.winehq.org/winecfg.
The uninstaller does not remove menu entries. To remove *all* Wine created menu entries run the following commands
rm -f $HOME/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine* rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/applications/wine rm -f $HOME/.local/share/desktop-directories/wine* rm -f $HOME/.local/share/icons/????_*.xpm
I think the OP wanted to blow away all apps. I was merely suggesting an alternate to "rm -fr ~/.wine"; if you have a space between ~ and /.wine then you have blown away your whole home directory.
