.wine is a proposed gTLD in ICANN's new gTLD program.

dotVinum

gTLD professional, Jean Guillon, was involved as a partner in a .wine and .vin project (dotVinum) for a number of years. In February, 2012, he announced that the project would be coming to an end due to the fact that his partner had decided to pursue the extensions without him. It seems the unnamed partner was financing the project and was able to utilize Mr. Guillon's expertise without signing any type of binding contract, and thus was able to dump him from the project.
