Wolf-Rayet stars are notorious for their very strong, hot winds. Their presence in binary systems can therefore lead to strong wind collisions, that manifest themselves as well-defined, phase-dependent distortions of the spectral lines. Turning this around, profile variations can be used to determine properties of the wind collision, as well as the winds and even the orbit itself. We review the present situation regarding colliding winds for WR stars in WR + O, WR + WR, and WR + c systems.
