No Wine can't do that. You can only share files read only. Not read/write. And of course you can not share registry otherwise it will become corrupted.
Each of your users have to have their own separate copy of ~/.wine directory.

The only thing you can share are the executables that are not modified. Use symlinks. But everything else have to be duplicated.
