yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install wine

or

yum distro-sync 

then yum install wine. 

The problem is that you had updates-testing enabled with the beta

causes some mismatch of packages between the two repos.

Perhaps. I'm sure the feature owner would welcome help with it.

Yes, this was way too late for f14, but is already in rawhide.

The rc came out a while ago, and has been branded gold release. 
We are ready for release next week.
