Recent observational and theoretical results are reviewed that pertain to the presence and characteristics of stellar coronae and winds in late-type stars. It is found that stars - principally dwarfs - exist with “hot” coronae similar to the Sun with thermally driven winds. For stars, at the lowest effective temperatures, and gravities characteristic of supergiant and giant stars, high temperature (~105K) atmospheres are absent (or if present are substantially weaker than in the dwarf stars), and massive winds are present. There also exist “hybrid” examples - luminous stars possessing both a “hot” corona and a supersonic stellar wind. Constraints for theoretical models are discussed.
