No idea, I never used Wine, so I never tried to do that...
Why do you ask? With a macOS build of FO available, why would anyone want to run the Windows build on Wine on Mac...?

Just another way to run the game. This might come in handy that the macOS build does not work and nobody is able to fix it. Or one could test the windows build on macOS (or linux).
Mostly out of curiosity of course.

This is an old thread but I thought I'd say this about Wine. I've used Macs for 22 years. I've used Wine 1 or 2 times. It's an utter nightmare, especially when graphics are involved. The only reason I used Wine was because I was absolutely desperate for an old game that was Windows only. Most of the time I just find native or web alternatives.
