WINEPREFIX is an environment variable that contains a path to a dir that Wine
uses to store its data, including installed application. You could think about
it as a Windows partition, but it's not. It's just a directory. Default path
that Wine uses is ~/.wine, but you can override that with
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-mygame for example if you like. Clean prefix means that no
other application are installed, and that it's created with Wine version that
you're using to start an application from this prefix. Easiest way to make sure
it's clean is to remove this ~/.wine dir (this will remove all your
applications installed using Wine and all the data stored in drive-like dirs
for C:\ drive for example).

Wine project doesn't provide binary packages for distributions, only source
code. After that it's a distro maintainer responsibility to build Wine, keep
package up-to-date, deal with dependencies and so on.
