Welcome to the Ubuntu community! :)

To download wine, you can open the console (or terminal if you like) and type the following command:


sudo apt-get install wine

that should do it. :)

Wine is used for running Windows applications on a Linux or Unix machine.

I'm trying iTunes with wine and sometimes there are applications that I must run with wine for work or school.

You can run Yahoo Messenger for Windows on wine, iTunes or many other apps that you would normally run on Windows with wine.

Personally I only use wine to experiment and I look for a Linux alternative first before trying wine.

Linux and this Ubuntu distro has better applications available IMHO than Windows anyway.

EDIT:

Why exactly did you install wine if you didn't know what it was for?

Just a general question I thought of after I finished the post.

Go to this website http://appdb.winehq.org, search for the program you want to run and it will tell you how.
