Type in a terminal or press Alt+F2 and type wine uninstaller will give you access to the built in Add/Remove tool from wine. From there you can uninstall a program you have installed in a bottle.
To completely remove the bottle for your user (and thus remove everything from a wine bottle and start again) you can open a terminal and type rm -rf ~/.wine or as an alternative open Nautilus and in your home folder press Ctrl+H, locate the .wine folder and delete it. wine will create a new folder next time you try to use it.

Search for wine in Dash. Select Uninstall Wine software there. There you can find all the softwares and will have option to uninstall.
If you are using Gnome Fallback just go to Applications => Wine => Uninstall Wine software

Thanks souravc! Meanwhile I have managed to figure that out. Imagie that I was afraid that "Unistall Wine Software" will unistall Wine itself! :-)) That is why I did not used it from the very beginning. Anyway, I did encountered several small bugs in the process. I have shared my experience in detail in my answer and maybe you can help me into this.

I have found the answer! On the Wine menu I clicked on "Unistall Wine Software".
This opens an add/remove window. I just select the app and then click "Modify/Reove" button.
However, for some reasons that I can't understand, I have to do the same operation twice. After clicking OK three times, I still see the program in the list! When I select it and then click again on "Modify/Remove" button I get this:
I click the "Yes" button and, finally, the app disappears from the list. But after that, I have to clean the shortcuts and folder manually. I wish I could find an easier and cleaner solution, but this one works fine anyway.

This opens an add/remove window. I just select the app and then click "Modify/Reove" button.
However, for some reasons that I can't understand, I have to do the same operation twice. After clicking OK three times, I still see the program in the list! When I select it and then click again on "Modify/Remove" button I get this:
I click the "Yes" button and, finally, the app disappears from the list. But after that, I have to clean the shortcuts and folder manually. I wish I could find an easier and cleaner solution, but this one works fine anyway.
