Yeah, as said, I built those initially, but haven't tracked those, so
if Epel updated some of the required packages, you'll have that issue.
Feel free to just exclude those conflicting packages from epel.repo
and that would normally work :
exclude=wine* openal*

Remove also those packages (if still installed on disk) and then you
should be able to install wine (both x86_64 and i386)

As it seems quite some people are interested in wine packages, and
that EPEL will probably not build those packages, I'm wondering if the
best solution is to :
- - rebuild all those (and track version updates) and host it on
people.centos.org
- - put those on C7 extras

Opinions ?
