To answer this question (and it is or should be in the FAQ)

A Wine Prefix is a directory where Wine's file structure is stored.
To use another Wine Prefix you can preface the wine command with 
WINEPREFIX=<path to Wine Directory>
or
You can set the Environment variable WINEPREFIX on a more permanent 
basis by using the export WINEPREFIX command:
export WINEPREFIX=<path to new wine prefix directory>
By default this variable is set to $HOME/.wine (also called ~/.wine)

Either method is acceptable to run a program.
