TrueCrypt is already included in Tails, please refer to the doc:

https://tails.boum.org/doc/encryption_and_privacy/truecrypt/.

Regarding Wine, Tails is not meant to be a general purpose operating
system but a selection of tools designed to answer some particular use
cases, see our design doc:

https://tails.boum.org/contribute/design/

Apart from the fact that I really doubt we want to encourage people
running probably non-free software through Wine. How would Wine help us
fulfil better our goals?
