I think you're right about Wine. For games Circa 2003 and earlier I often have much better luck with Wine than I do on a modern Windows install if I'm using original media.
Not to mention that every game I've ever gotten from GoG has worked pretty smoothly (IE close to effortlessly) with Wine. I've only run into trouble with stuff like installing 3rd party infinity engine mods.
I think in some ways Linux is a better platform than Windows for retroclassic games.
