The Application Data folder is saved in the APPDATA environment variable.

You can see its value by running: (a weird combination of wine and Unix ;-) )
wine cmd /c set|grep APPDATA

The output you recieve should look like this:
APPDATA=C:\windows\profiles\mohag\Application Data
LOCALAPPDATA=C:\windows\profiles\mohag\Local Settings\Application Data

The physical folder would then be
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/`whoami`/Application" "Data
