One thing to bear in mind is that, with wine versions, more recent does not necessarily mean better. Newer versions contain experimental features that sometimes break compatibility with particular applications as often as they achieve compatibility with others. Because of this I even ended up having to use multiple versions simultaneously, which got pretty messy. Some people say that the versions released in the middle of 2004 (not available in portage) tend to work better than others. However a user comment at gentoo-portage.com recommends the recent version 20050419, so you might want to give that one a try.
