How did you install Wine? WineHQ's packages do not create menu icons.
However, you can copy the file /opt/wine-stable/share/applications/wine.desktop or
/usr/share/doc/wine/examples/wine.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications/
After this, you can open files with the Wine Windows Program Loader

For the built-in Wine programs, you can create your own .desktop files.
For example, for winecfg

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Wine Configurator
Comment=Modify and tweak Wine
Exec=wine winecfg
Icon=wine
Terminal=false
