Is there any sand boxing (like Flatpak) when using Wine to install Windows Apps?

I want to run certain applications that are Windows only, and I wanted to know if there is any sand boxing as most of the programs that are Windows only tend to be invasive. I know VMs are another option but there is usually a performance toll with that and I am running a low to mid range laptop

Bottles is amazing! Been playing most of my Windows games on it.

You need to install the right dependencies, namely the directx & and .net

No, not by deafult (some windows viruses are compatible with wine)

You could try Sandwine https://github.com/hartwork/sandwine not used personally but looks like it has enough restrictions built in.
