This looks like a generic Wine question, as Wine 'bottles' can be put 
anywhere....

You can call the wine program from anywhere (the default prefix is /usr 
but you can set it to be /somewhere/on/mars if you wish.)

Command line:

env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine-amp; cd $HOME/.wine-amp/drive_c/Program\ 
Files/winamp; /opt/bordeaux/bin/wine winamp.exe

Does it all on one line.  The semi-colons separate individual commands 
(a book on shell programming is a good thing to own.)
