  Of course it’s not a container but wine is windows running in Linux. So wine will be infected, which means your windows apps may be infected also.

    Wine = Wine is not an Emulator It’s a compatibility layer. Your files are still fully visible to the Malware so if it is trying for example to encrypt all of them it can. If it targets smth like System32 then you would be safe since that would only affect wine and apps running under it. So depends on the Type of Malware.
