Wine is
cheaper than a VM in terms of hardware requirements and licensing.

You must have some very expensive hardware.

I figure a VM costs me $25-50 in RAM and SSD space. Because it's not a full OS, Wine's slice of SSD and RAM is more like $10, and a lot of it is shared among Wine instances if you have more than one running.

I purposefully said "and licensing" though, because the Windows license swamps the hardware costs.
