.vin is a proposed TLD in ICANN's New gTLD Program, the string translates as "wine" from French. The applicant is Donuts (Holly Shadow, LLC).[1]
The application received 2 GAC Early Warnings, from France and Luxembourg. The warning system is noted as a strong recommendation on behalf of national governments to the ICANN Board that a given TLD application should be denied as it stands. Applicants are encouraged to work with objecting GAC members.[2]
The warnings are nearly identical and state that the applicant should consider withdrawal or implement an objection procedure to consider geographical indications, as "vin" is a term that is strictly and clearly defined by French and European law.[3]
