Since everything can change from one release to another it is always best to follow the instructions when installing wine - especially for anyone who has no previous experience with wine.
Stick with the instructions and you avoid any potential problems down the road.
No "but you could just" - just follow the instructions.
Sure that it is not necessary on stock Ubuntu (or flavours).
However Linux Mint have their own 'system' (cough) of naming their releases, which breaks lots of things...

Are you sure, this holds on Linux Mint? See comment from Bob.
I've run Mint for years and I just follow the instructions on WineHQ download for Ubuntu - noting the version of Mint mentioned. I have never done it any other way but I'm also just a dumb guy so I don't know if there are other ways to do it.
Bob Wya has been an unbelievable help to me here and I can't thank him enough.
