Open Nautilus, and under preferences there is a place in there where you can "show hidden files" just like in Windows. Find that and enable it. Then you'll notice a bunch of files in your home directory that start with a period. Your wine folder will be one of them. It will be .wine.
In there you will see something like "c_drive, then "fake windows," then, "Program files" or some such. Look for the ".exe" that starts your program there. Let's say the name of the .exe is winamp.exe. Right click on it, and "wine" should be a choice for you to open it with.
Why would you want to run Winamp under Linux using wine, when there is a kick-ass player already included with your distro called xmms?
Xmms looks almost exactly like winamp, and with the mp3 plugins, it sounds terrific. Look for it under "Mulitmedia" in you menu. It won't be called xmms though. I think Fedora calls it "media player" or something odd like that. Or, from the command line, type in:
xmms
And enter.

Did you type:
xmms
from the command line and press enter? Did Xmms come up? It was included in FC1&2. It the folks at Fedora have stopped including Xmms as of version 3, then they're just downright nuts!
Even if it's not, it would be simple to install it if you want to use it.

XMMS is just as same as winamp. If you are talking aout its skins, which you could easily download and put them into xmms skins folder to make it look exactly the same as winamp, then you can also do that. You can use just about 95% of winamps skins for xmms, but I guess you are just experimenting with wine.
