I've uninstalled wine with sudo apt-get remove wine-stable --purge and sudo apt-get autoremove. However it seems that apt-get is still trying to download from the wine source. How can I fix this?

@karel is OP trying install or uninstall wine? Confused here a bit. — George Udosen, Jul 29 '17 at 06:56
@George sorry for the confusion, I want to stop apt-get from trying to install from that source — 13aal, Jul 29 '17 at 07:01
The OP is trying to remove the deprecated ppa:wine/wine-builds PPA from his software sources. — karel, Jul 29 '17 at 07:01
System Settings --> Software and Updates --> Other Software. Uncheck the PPA. — user535733, Jul 29 '17 at 19:21

In this case, you added wine from a PPA. It's not enough to uninstall the software - you must remove the source.

System Settings --> Software and Updates --> Other Software. Uncheck the PPA.
