WineBottler packages Windows-based programs snugly into OS X app-bundles. No need to install emulators or operating systems - WineBottler uses the great open-source tool Wine to. Wineskin, which also uses Wine to run Windows applications, is a porting tool. It allows you to port Windows applications in Mac application bundle wrappers, which can then run on Mac OS X and even shared with other Mac users. It works with Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion.
Wineskin Winery is a tool for Wineskin. It is the only downloadable part of Wineskin needed.

The wrappers are in the form of a normal Mac Application, which can be double clicked and ran just like its native. They can also be used to make a distributable 'port' of software.
You do not need the Windows program's source code, you can attempt to port any program you want. Best of all, its free! Make wrappers for specific programs to share with others, make ports of your own open source, free, or commercial software, or just make a port for yourself!
Why install and use Windows if you don't need to?
This is the current development branch of Wine. The name is a bit misleading as it is superior to the stable build in most aspects. If your program is laking some functionality under wine, this is the version to go with, as it is evolving very fast. Check back often to download the most recent version. One of the big news is, that it does not need X11 anymore. The current stable branch of Wine. It is usually very static and only receiving very few updates.
If your program runs with it, it is a great way of having a solid base to use your apps on. This is the last 'complete' version of Wine for OS X Tiger. You can use this version of WineBottler together with the 1.4.0 and the 1.4.1 No-Audio-Build on OS X Tiger (see below). Wine is no longer actively developed for OS X Tiger.
