What Is Wine? Wine (or short for "Wine Is Not an Emulator") is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on Linux, macOS, & BSD. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator (Uninstall VMWare Fusion 11 Mac), Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop.

Why uninstalling Wine on Mac? One of the main reason to install Wine on macOS is for using some Windows native programs on a Mac, such as Notepad++, or other PC oriented games. Once the macOS version of applications/games are available for download, there is no need to simulate that app/game with Wine.
