It implements an ABI.
It "emulates a behaviour" and natural language is fluid, so sure, you could call WINE an emulator and I wouldn't be mad at you. But WINE is very different compared to what most emulators are. Usually the term is reserved for when you emulate in software what used to be hardware.
