Even worse, at least in a emulator you are making native calls, with wine you need to pray the "compatibility layer" + the OS + the program play nice. I have never had a pleasant experience with it, every program sooner or later crashes with some obscure message about a missing DLL or something. I use Linux, but if a software is Windows only I simply discard it from my choices.
I don't use Windows software either, but you've been told that it runs with an error, and how to fix that error. Your past experience with other software is irrelevant.
