Yes, I do that on a regular basis.

I have also posted how to do it since a long time on this news 
group, so a pointer to www.google.com is probably as good as
any :-)

export WINE=/home/gerard/win/wine
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$WINE:$WINE/dlls:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export WINEPREFIX=/home/gerard/.wine
export PS1='wine:'
cd /home/gerard/win/wine
bash

export WINE=/home/gerard/win/wine2
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$WINE:$WINE/dlls:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export WINEPREFIX=/home/gerard/.wine2
export PS1='wine2:'
cd /home/gerard/win/wine2
bash

Then I use ./wine <app name>
