Hi

I would like to have more then one .wine directories. Is it possible to
change the name of the .wine directory to e.g. .wineSomeOtherName and
still be able to use it? I could do it in a script and simply rename the
directories, but I would prefer to call wine with e.g. an additional
parameter to specify the folder to use.

-> man wine ;)

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
