Is .wine safe? The state of .wine domain security
.wine is riskier than the internet average. Across 22,533 graded .wine domains, 85.3% score an F — worse than the 78.3% global average — heavier on exposed domains than the web as a whole. 1.1% earn a B or better.

Does .wine make a domain secure?
No — and that's the most important thing to know. A domain's grade is decided by how it is configured (SPF, DMARC, HTTPS, DNS), not by its ending. Choosing .wine doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .wine domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .wine safe?
On average, .wine is riskier than the internet average: 85.3% of its 22,533 graded domains score an F as of 2026-08-16, against a 78.3% global average. Most domains on every ending are exposed — the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade.
How secure are .wine domains?
14.7% of .wine domains score above an F and 1.1% earn a B or better. The rest fail the basic externally observable protections, most importantly enforced SPF and DMARC, so they can be impersonated in email.
Does choosing .wine make my domain secure?
No. A domain's grade comes from how it is configured — SPF, DMARC, HTTPS, DNS — not from its ending. A well-configured domain earns an A on any ending; an unconfigured one sits at F on .wine too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .wine domain?
It fails the basic protections we can observe from outside — above all, it has no enforced SPF and DMARC, so its email can be forged and its customers targeted with convincing fakes.
