You can control the list of directories where CrossOver looks for bottles by setting the CX_BOTTLE_PATH environment variable. By default this variable is set to ~/.cxoffice. To not have to set the modified path manually each time you run CrossOver, edit ~/.cxoffice/cxoffice.conf and add the following lines:
[EnvironmentVariables]
"CX_BOTTLE_PATH"="/extra/bottles:~/.cxoffice"
CrossOver will then first look for bottles in /extra/bottles and then in the standard location. Also note that CrossOver will create new bottles in the first writable directory present in the search path. So order is important.
