I’ve not tried it with Wine but with Parallels I just do GUI scripting and send keystrokes directly to the application. Here’s a blog post I wrote on it. (Although I use Python + Appscript for scripting primarily)

Note I send each character separately in that script. You can actually send full strings. I just like it abstracted out so I can add a delay if necessary. So I have a function for sending strings.
If you’re not familiar with GUI Scripting I’d look at the following tutorial:
