You might have already talk about this but I didn't find any related post with a quick search, so sorry in advance..

Well, I saw that there is a windows version of wine (although I can not understand why) but nevertheless I immediately wondered: is it possible to run the windows version of wine under linux using wine?

has anyone tried it?

Regards.

That wouldn't be useful. The Windows 'version' of Wine is cross
compiled DLLs for testing, e.g., Wine's implementation of comdlg32
compiling as a native PE binary DLL, which is then tested on Windows
for it's functionality.
