It also makes even less sense than the Wine name. "Wine is not an emulator" - but it is! It's an API emulator, not an instruction set emulator. "Wine for Amiga" is an emulator in both senses.

My favorite piece of trivia is that main.c of the wine loader actually calls itself "emulator initialisation code" :D
