What Is the History of .wine?
The .wine domain was delegated to June Station, LLC (a subsidiary of Donuts) on July 30, 2015, and officially added to the DNS root zone on August 5, 2015. Donuts acquired the rights to .wine through a private auction in November 2014 after a contention set with other applicants. Despite objections from Saudi Arabia and the European Union over cultural and geographical indicator concerns, ICANN proceeded with delegation. In 2018, the registry operations were transitioned to Identity Digital Inc. under a services agreement.
