Enter 'A Date With Wine,' a helpful [wine stopper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expiremate) that reminds you exactly when you last opened the bottle residing in your cupboard or fridge. Designed by George Lee, the 'A Date With Wine' stopper features twistable date rings that you can set. This way, you can easily avoid two terrible scenarios: getting unnecessarily drunk or wasting perfectly good wine. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Smart Wine Stoppers:** Creating smart wine stoppers that use technology to keep track of when the bottle was opened and provide recommendations for when it should be consumed. - **Wine Bottle Tracking Apps:** Developing smartphone apps that allow users to keep track of their wine bottles and set alerts for when they should be consumed. - **Wine Preservation Technology:** Researching and developing new ways to preserve wine and extend its shelf life, such as through the use of innovative materials and packaging. ### Where This Applies - **Wine Accessories:** Creating and selling wine accessories that incorporate smart technology, such as smart wine stoppers and tracking devices. - **Mobile App Development:** Developing mobile apps for wine enthusiasts that allow them to easily manage their wine collections and consumption. - **Packaging and Materials Science:** Researching and developing innovative packaging and materials that can preserve wine for longer periods of time without losing quality or taste. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wine Bottle Cork Trimmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qwikcork.md) - [Flavor Preservation Wine Openers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coravin-timeless-three-sl.md) - [Sparkling Wine Preservation Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coravin.md) - [Wine Top Vacuum Seals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoenox.md) - [Partially Filled Wine Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tomorrows-vintage.md) - [Space-Saving Wine Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-splitglass.md) - [Metallic Wine-Aging Bar Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peugeot-clef-du-vin-wine-tool.md) - [Single-Serve Wine Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coravin-vinitas.md) - [Wine-Preserving Wands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ullo-uno-wine-purifying-wands.md)
