See: https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#Wineprefixes
Essentially it's a directory structure with a set of registry files and it's where you install your windows programs. You can have several of them, which is useful if you need different dll overrides etc. The default prefix is ~/.wine, but by using an environment variable you can store the prefix wherever you want. Also note that all programs installed into a prefix share the same wineserver and ought to be able to communicate, while apps installed into different wineprefixes are separated from each other. Normally it works fine to copy wineprefixes around too, so it's useful for making backups.
