They don't.

Even if you don't have a drive link pointing out of a bottle, a Windows app
running in Wine can still call Linux syscalls(int 0x80). This is
possible/needed because Windows apps run as a regular Linux process that
links in Linux libraries which perform linux syscalls.

So any Windows malware can break out of the Wine "sandbox"(which isn't a
sandbox really) by simply using linux syscalls.
