WINE is neither para-virtualization of full virtualization, it is a Windows API layer that runs on LINUX/BSD/similar systems. Further, WINE is just a way to run Windows binaries, vitualization allows you to run any OS as a guest/virtualized system without direct access to you hardware (thus virtualized). What Redhat is talking about is kernel level virtualization (similar to running VMWare ESX, but without the management GUI... ESX also runs on RHEL).
