Can rm -rf use grep?

I am trying to use PlayOnLinux to install iTunes but my wine is clogged up, so I want to 100% delete the wine files, so is there any way to delete all files with the tag (or word) wine in them? Perhaps using

sudo rm -rf?

The following command would do it

sudo find . -name *wine* -type f -exec rm -f {} ;

You need ` before the * so they aren't globbed. type -f means match files only.
