This User doesn't know installing package and doesn't know compiling or UNtar or anything. The only thing this user does on the computer is to surf the web. And I would like to prevent this user from accidentally execute a Win exe in wine.

If you only want to prevent one user from accidentally opening an exe,
the quicker (hacky) way would be to do:
$ sudo mkdir /home/user/.wine
$ sudo chmod -rwx /home/user/.wine
