As you can see from the wiki page you linked, the name of the package is not wine, choose one of the three package names that are listed and your command will likely work better:
- winehq-stable
- winehq-devel
- winehq-staging
Or just try: sudo apt-get purge winehq*
You can then also run sudo apt-get autoremove to clean up.
