I can find wine in System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager but it fails...

What about getting it from Add/Remove?

Try,

In terminal run:

Code:
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys $KEY
then

Code:
gpg --export --armor $KEY | sudo apt-key add -
where $KEY is key value you have missed. Do those 2 commands for each repository which you have problem.

May work.

you will have to download wine from a different repository than the one ubuntu has defaulted to.from synaptic click "packages'', than "reload" and you should get a list of other repositories from which to down load "stuff" from.The repo your were using is broken.
