How to play Winzer on Mac
Game summary
Winzer (German for vintner) is a business simulation about the cultivation of wine.
Choose a vineyard in southern Germany, cultivate and harvest grapes, press wine and sell it on the national or international markets. The quality of your wine depends on the type of vines, when the grapes are harvested and how they are fertilized.
You must deal with hiring personnel and buying equipment, registering your wines with the authorities and advertising your products. You can also sabotage your competitors or illegally water down your wines.
You win by reaching a score of 1000 points. Points are awarded by registering wines, creating high quality sparkling wines or placing high in regional or national wine competitions.

Play Winzer on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Winzer on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
Winzer installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Winzer like you would on any PC.
