Wine software was developed in the early 1990s to allow windows applications to be run in Unix environments. Today, Wine is primarily used on Linux desktops to enable Windows applications to be executed.

Read the Wine Label

• Wine is an implementation of Microsoft Windows 3.x and Win32 APIs (application program interfaces) for Unix and Linux. It was written by over 300 developers and is currently maintained by a global community of open source developers.
• Wine is not an emulator - it is cloned Windows source code written in C. Even though it’s 100% free of Microsoft code, you can still use native Windows DLLs (dynamic link libraries) to supplement Wine’s functionality.
