Not a single comment in here about Bottles - what exactly is it?

These have been around since I last used WINE in anger on macOS. Basically think of it as a container for running an app in WINE with all the settings predefined for best compatibility. The homepage doesn’t really highlight this but you can look through the docs for more information.

Have you used it/would you recommend it?

It's been a long time since I used wine (or any windows software really... Yay!) but I'm sure the requirement will pop up again sooner or later.

Should I check out bottles the next time it comes up?
