ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
wine makes the environment variables of the shell from which wine is
started accessible to
the windows/dos processes started. So use the appropriate syntax for
your shell to enter
environment variables you need.
WINEPREFIX
If set, the content of this variable is taken as the name of the
directory where wine
stores its data (the default is $HOME/.wine ). This directory is
also used to iden-
tify the socket which is used to communicate with the wineserver.
All wine processes
using the same wineserver (i.e.: same user) share certain
things like registry,
shared memory, and config file. By setting WINEPREFIX to
different values for dif-
ferent wine processes, it is possible to run a number of truly
independent wine pro-
cesses.

So if you changed your ~/.wine to ~/.wineSomeOtherName, just run wine like that:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wineSomeOtherName wine app.exe
