Information

The .wine top-level domain (TLD) is a delegated gTLD in the Domain Name System (DNS) managed by Donuts Registry since August 2015. This domain extension is intended for websites related to wine, making it an ideal choice for wineries, vineyards, wine merchants, and other businesses or individuals involved in the wine industry. With over 17,000 registrations as of now, .wine has become a popular choice among those looking to establish a strong online presence within the wine community.

Restrictions

There are certain restrictions when it comes to registering a .wine domain. Saudi Arabia's Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) filed an objection against the TLD due to concerns that it could glamorize the consumption of alcohol. Additionally, the European Union has expressed strong opposition to the delegation of the .wine string without protection for "Geographic Indicator" rights holders, such as Champagne or other wine-growing regions. The European Commission's VP Neelie Kroes urged ICANN to adhere to the GAC's advice given at ICANN 46 in Beijing instead of the "no consensus" advice from September 2013. These restrictions may impact potential applicants, especially those from regions with strict alcohol regulations or those representing specific wine-growing regions. It is essential for prospective registrants to be aware of these restrictions and ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations when using a .wine domain.
