Someone on twitter claimed that the malware is able to run in wine. So one needs to be careful when running windows programs under wine.
I am assuming we are talking about the recent "wannacry". Wannacry exploits a remote-code-execution bug in smbv1. Wine does not implement smbv1. It only provides a library/environment for windows applications to run.
smbv1 is used only to spread the malware. If someone gets an exe as attachment and they run it with wine, it can affect them.
