CodeWeavers reports

Gone are [...] the days that we hopelessly tried to register Microsoft Office 2013. You read that right, people. [On November 2], we successfully registered Microsoft Office 2013 in a CrossOver 16 alpha build. We [can] also:

  • Open, create, edit, save, and print Microsoft office documents
  • Activate a copy of Microsoft Office 2013 [with a] product key or a 365 subscription
  • Use Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Project

"Everyone at CodeWeavers is incredibly excited to see Microsoft Office 2013 installing, registering, and running in CrossOver. After four years of continued development, we are preparing to deliver support for the 2013 versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Project in CrossOver 16 (due out later this year). And we hope that our development will continue making strides to include support for Outlook 2013 and Microsoft Office 2016 in the coming months." -- James Ramey, President

    First, CrossOver 16 isn't available yet; it's still alpha.
    (That's the original meaning of "alpha", where the pre-release product doesn't leave the department that's developing it.)

    ...and, as been mentioned in the (meta)thread, CodeWeavers is very good at upstream, so their improved code will make it back to the WINE project quickly.
    (WINE is GPL'd.)
    So, it shouldn't be too long (or too long after CrossOver 16 is released) that this stuff appears in a (totally gratis) WINE release.
