Kali is best used as a live system rather than an installed Desktop experience, it isn't even good at that as it is for pen-testing.

As usual, the question also arises why a Kali user would need Wine, when the Kali developers specifically say that it's not meant to be used as a desktop distribution. If they are trying to use some penetration software designed for Windows; I doubt that anything that directly uses the hardware would work...maybe a password cracker, but I thought the Linux tools are good enough.
