    It is possible to install multiple version in a same system basically you have one old version of wine & you need new version.There are some problem created from old version that's why you need new version. At the end new version is the better than old one.Because it is updated from old then Maybe try compiling your new version wine from source in a separate directory and then run it from within that directory .There were two updates Wine 1.1.33 and 1.1.34 which has just created. Mean always new version has fix old issue & newly updated performance.Download source code pf new version , place in a directory then install build dependency & compile the new version.
