Bottles is essentially a frontend for Wine, it lets you put every single app to its own WINEPREFIX, so that each one can have their own settings, C: drive, etc.

If you've heard of Lutris, Bottles is essentially the same thing, but aimed at general software instead of only focusing on games

Nice, using home-brew style incomprehensible nomenclature

Well, things have to be named something. At least "Bottles" are related to "Wine" in a way that makes sense for a name for isolated Wine environments. It is also unique enough that Google will give you the answer quickly.

I use Bottles regularly and really like it.

There's nothing groundbreaking about it, but it's a straightforward way to run apps with Wine with an intuitive and pretty interface.

(They're currently working on a 2.0 release, though that's probably gonna take a while.)
