Statistics show that over the last 5 years wine sales have increased to astounding levels - particularly over those of beer. This suggests a significant alteration in tastes. Furthermore, the US Supreme Court has recently ruled that wine consumers may buy directly from out-of-state wineries. This struck down laws that impeded wine sales on the Internet and that interfered with the growing popularity of wine and winery tours. These laws were clearly counter-cultural. It is with such developments, that these two high-end .COM domain names represent a marvelous opportunity to enter the burgeoning wine ecommerce industry, or to prospect and invest further in the domain name aftermarket. halfcarafe.com is a succinct, attractive name with numerous marketable possibilities. Among other connotations, it was set with relevence to a niche wine-buying area: that of vintage half bottles. It is accepted that wine in smaller bottles will age to maturity much quicker. Moreover, it is not only projected that popular tastes will continue to evolve towards wine consumption, but also towards wine collecting, and collectables. However, this domain also would also fit and complement a 'bricks and mortar' establishment such as a wine store, or as a quality restaurant name. thevintner.com is an elegant description of the master wine maker, and of winemaking itself. The name is appropriate for wine information databases, forums, and ecommerce alike. It has a clear connotation again with quality and with informed, inside-the-industry knowledge and opinion. And it is being sold as part of a two domain lot. Merchants and site owners with established names can, of course, can automatically forward traffic to any of these distinctive, and highly memorable domains, while at the same time capitalizing on the increased traffic that search engine tagging will afford.
