It just came to my mind, that WINE not only stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator, but also could be interpreted as: WINdows Emulator.

You can also mean Windows Is Not Essential..

I wonder if that was intentional, before I knew the acronym I always thought the WIN part stood for windows. But they added an E so it would spell Wine instead. Calling a program Win would just be confusing.

In the days of DOS you would run 'win' to open windows assuming it was installed and not in your autoexec

"WINE is not an emulator" also infinitely looped with itself
