What is Vanilla wine?

I've been reading about it for a while now and I don't quite understand what it is, and how you get it. Is it any different than the regular wine you get off this site?

Seems this is special assembly of Wine ...

Or not )))

Maybe this is the name used to call original Wine

Appears as though, there really isn't to much documentation on it lol

It means unmodified Wine.

'Vanilla' is normally an expression to say that a program, tool, app
or game is unchanged, unmodified, fresh or just from the developers
release.

I've observed this often on the internet so I guess that is the reason
why it isn't documented

-You wouldn't tell someone what "in a nutshell" means, but that
doesn't make the expression obvious to everyone.^^

I saw the usage of that tern in: Modding: "vanilla Crysis
installation", coding/linux kernel work "vanilla 3.1 kernel" and of
course Wine

Most of the documentation at winehq and the wiki are on vanilla wine.
That term is a way of saying "a wine install that is not modified by
third party code". If your wine install does not include wine bottler,
wine doors, play on linux, etc. and is just wine installed from the
website or from a distro repository that does not add anything to the
package then you should have "vanilla wine".
