(TheDrinksBusiness) - New internet domain names, including the proposed .wine suffix, have sparked objections from Saudi Arabia, but also from within the wine industry. Saudi Arabian authorities have objected to a series of new internet domain name extensions including .wine, .vodka and .bar, which would allow new addresses for drinks-based websites. The country’s IT and communications regulator has also objected to other domains, including .gay and .sexy. The Saudi objection says that the drinks-related domains “will be used to promote and glamorise the consumption of alcohol which, in turn, is responsible for the prevalence of alcohol-related disease and a range of social ills.”
