Or pony up for CodeWeavers. Their code goes into WINE, and they are (the?) major WINE devs. They've had bottles for years, if not decades now.

I used to a long time ago but even back then I was getting more value out of q4wine (a defunct project now) than from CodeWeavers stuff. Granted, I was perhaps too "enthusiast" using git versions of wine with staging patches and my own patches rolled into it, so q4wine (and I guess now Bottles) more DIY approach won me over.
That all said, I haven't tried CodeWeavers in almost 10 years so it might have improved a lot.
