Come on. A jail wouldn't prevent the user from associating wine with 
.exe and .pif and whatnot files and the KLEZ worm he clicked on using 
localhost:25 or known.mail.relay:25 to send it's copies to other

Apart form that jails don't really exist on Linux yet.

If you want to be safe from Win worms, use an alpha box. wine doesn't 
run there ;-)
