The launch of dot .Wine and dot .Vin took a while, but this grape-induced pair is a fine representation of popular consumer products with an ancient history.
Wine – or vin, in French – are both derived from the ancient Greek word oinos (ee-nos.)
.Wine and .Vin gTLDs are now available to register.
But enough with history and linguistic lessons; the domain stats are in and domain investors such as Mike Berkens are definitely in high spirits.
According to ntldstats that keeps track of new gTLD metrics:
- .Wine has 6,817 domains in the zone files, and
- .Vin has 3,218 domains.
That’s a total of 10,035 domains for the Donuts, Inc. gTLD pair in less than 10 days of open, general availability.
Did you register any?
