Wine from the repo should always be the latest stable version. Could you say what version of ubuntu you're referring to? – sbergeron Mar 20 '18 at 17:38

Not all Windows applications run in Wine. Take a look on their homepage if your applications are verified to run. Also take a look at Play On Linux: https://www.playonlinux.com/ – Soren A Mar 20 '18 at 19:00

"What version of
will be in the next release of Ubuntu?" questions are off topic. You can always watch the packages on Launchpad if you wish to know, though. – dobey Mar 20 '18 at 19:12 -

This shows the version of all packages for all supported releases of ubuntu. https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/artful/wine shows the latest stable version of wine. The development version is not finished until it is released nor is it supported here.
So artful has a newer version 2.0.2 with wine stable compared to 1.6.8 in xenial. So it has been updated since the last LTS that has been released and with this you can always check if a new version of ubuntu for now on. This is the general solution to this problem and you can search for all packages.
Although not all windows programs run in wine but your question currently has no details on those programs so I unfortanetly can't help you.

artful is a STS (short term support) release. Bionic is what's currently in development. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases – Elder Geek Mar 22 '18 at 00:20
