I recently removed .wine from my home folder to get space to install Portal 2, then I realized i can install the game on another partition and so I did sudo apt install wine to get it back it didnt work. Then I tried sudo apt remove wine to remove it and sudo apt install wine to get it back and now it shows the error:

Wine is kinda messed up
Re: Wine is kinda messed up
And that is exactly the reason why using wine prefixes is recommended.
Try purging Everything wine related. Not only removing it.
sudo apt remove --purge wine*

Re: Wine is kinda messed up
You can try either or both of:
1. Upgrading wine, 5.0 is like two years old and 6.23 is the current 'devel' release. Instruction for Ubuntu are here: https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu
2. Trying the workaround for the same or similar error from this thread: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=34889
... which is to set the environment variable MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5
