Wine was and is intended to be a stop-gap between using Windows native software on Windows and transitioning to a new platform. For that purpose it works fairly well. It varies.
OP:
[CODE]
# Do this once.
mkdir ~/home/.wineprefixes
# Then do this any time you need a wineprefix
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wineprefixes/example_name WINEARCH=win32 wineboot
# Then do this whenever you need to run a windows program.
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wineprefix/example_name wine your_program.exe
# Alternatively you can tell wine where it is relative to the wineprefix C: drive (or other named drives for that prefix)
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wineprefix/example_name wine "C:\\some_directory\\your_program.exe"
[/code]
