Now I need windows for work so have been using wine on ubuntu.
It has been great!
All I did was

Which is completely the wrong way to install the Ubuntu wine package.
Which is (for bionic):
wine-stable.
A meta-package that should pull in the sub-packages:
wine32 wine64 ; which cover both the 32-bit and 64-bit architectures that Wine requires.
This is why "your" Wine version didn't automatically pull down
wine-mono and
wine-gecko, because your Wine installation is busted...
Having said all of that...
The Ubuntu
bionic Wine package, version
3.0, is by now very
obsolete.
So you'd want to follow the instructions on:
WineHQ Download: Ubuntu ; to get the most recent Wine (or Wine Staging release):
4.1 (at the time of writing).
