I don't have a clue what you tried to do with GRUB or why you thought it was in any way relevant. GRUB is a bootloader, it has nothing to do with installing Wine or any other package.

In the future, post terminal output as plain text between code tags in the body of your post. If the output is long, attach it to your post as a zip file.

From the looks of it, you are using Ubuntu Focal Fossa, but you have also activated the Wine repositories for Bionic, Hirsute and Impish. Remove these repositories and you should be able to install Wine.
