I found a way to fix it... it turns out that while kde-applications.menu contains the mergedir option, kde4-applications does not, so, I fixed it like so:

All the way at the bottom of the file you should find the item, <DefaultMergeDirs/>.

Directly below that add, <MergeDir>applications-merged</MergeDir>

so it should generally look like this:
....
       <Include>
                <And>
                        <Category>KDE</Category>
                        <Category>Core</Category>
                </And>
        </Include>
        <DefaultMergeDirs/>
        <MergeDir>applications-merged</MergeDir>
        <MergeFile>applications-kmenuedit.menu</MergeFile>
....

After saving you should pretty much immediately see the new "Wine" menu and sub menu's. Good luck.
