1. install main package
2. install optional dependencies as dependencies dependencies (–asdeps--asdeps)

Install main package first

...

Install the main wine package as per usual:

sudo pacman -S wine

Once you've installed this, let's move onto installing all optional dependencies.

...

Now, let's install all optional dependencies.  We're going to use the pactree command pacman -Si command which will list all dependencies (optional and otherwise) for the wine package that we just installed.  Execute the following from the command line:information about the package (including optional dependencies).  The rest of the following command is simply processing the output to only show the optional dependency packages:

sudo pacman

sudo pacman -S --asdeps --needed $(pactreepacman -l wine)Si wine | sed -n '/^Opt/,/^Conf/p' | sed '$d' | sed 's/^Opt.*://g' | sed 's/^\s*//g' | tr '\n' ' ')

The --needed option will stop pacman from reinstalling a package if it is already installed.  In other words, we probably don't want to reinstall a package and mark it as a dependency if it is already on our system (either installed via another package or installed explicitly)As mentioned, the above will use pactree to list all dependencies (including optional dependencies) and feed these to pacman to install them.

It's important to note that we should use the --asdeps argument here to mark these packages's install reason as a "dependency" (otherwise, these packages will be marked as "explicitly" installed).  This means that if you uninstall the main package, these optional dependencies will be orphaned - which you can then safely uninstall with a single command (which you can run often to clean up any orphans):
