What's Software Center ??

It is the orange icon in the launcher that looks like a shopping bag with an "A" on it. Or press the Windows key (called the Super key in Ubuntu) and start typing "software". The Software Centre should appear as the first result. Most common applications can be installed directly from there and will be automatically updated.

You have fallen into a common newbie trap. This following advice applies to more than just Wine - it applies to all routinely installed software.

If you are new to Ubuntu do not install software from downloaded tar.xz files, except in rare cases. In most cases the contents of the tar.xz file needs to be compiled. This is a totally unnecessary complication, particularly for a newcomer, because most of the software you will need will be already precompiled for you in what is known as software repositories, accessible from the software centre or other package managers. Coldraven has explained what Software Centre is. You can install the repository version of Wine with a few mouse clicks with it. If you need more advice and information about installing software generally and how to use package managers, you are very welcome to start a new thread in New to Ubuntu. There are plenty on this forum who will help you.
