sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt install apt-transport-https
wget -O - https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/winehq-archive.key
wget -O - https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/$(lsb_release -sc)/winehq-$(lsb_release -sc).sources | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq-$(lsb_release -sc).sources

For this version Ubuntu 22.04 Use this command:

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/jammy/winehq-jammy.sources
sudo mv winehq-jammy.sources /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

Note that if you have previously used the distro packages, the files are installed to /opt/wine-devel, opt/wine-stable, or /opt/wine-staging (depending on which version you installed). Also the menu items are not created for Wine’s builtin programs (winecfg, etc.), and if you are upgrading from a distro package that had added them, they will be removed. You can recreate them yourself using your menu editor.
