.vin gTLD
The .vin TLD is a generic top-level domain that translates to 'wine' in French. It was introduced as part of ICANN’s new gTLD program to provide a dedicated namespace for wine-related brands, producers, retailers, and enthusiasts. While open for public registration, it has attracted attention due to its connection to European wine regions and the legal protections surrounding geographic indications for wine.

What Is the History of .vin?
The .vin domain was delegated to Binky Moon, LLC on July 23, 2015, under ICANN’s new gTLD program. The application faced early warnings from France and Luxembourg due to the term's legal significance in European wine law. Donuts, the original applicant, defended open registration, arguing that content moderation and rights protection mechanisms were sufficient. In 2018, the registry operator transitioned to Identity Digital Inc., which now manages the TLD alongside other acquired domains from Donuts.
