Bottles is a graphical tool that makes it easy to run Windows software and games on Linux, via Wine. 

For handling Wine prefixes, the tool uses environments, which is a combination of ready-to-use settings, libraries and dependencies. Wine / Proton, DXVK and the required dependencies are downloaded using a built-in download manager.

Bottles also features the ability to easily add environment variables, override DLLs, various gaming optimization options (esync, fsync, DXVK, cache, shader compiler, etc.), built-in task manager for Wine processes, import / export bottles, as well as an experimental installers database, among many other features.

A new Bottles version has been released (2021.12.14-treviso) today. The biggest change in this release is the versioning feature, which is now considered stable.
