# Bestial Bottle Holders The AB Wine Racks Display Your Full-Bodied Beverages in Animal Forms By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-04-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ab-wine-racks References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/04/24/animals-getting-tipsy/) & [dothome.co.kr](http://dothome.co.kr/pageControl/file_dir/traffic.html) The [AB](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fishmarket) Wine Racks are not the most [space-conscious solution to storing a collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-splitglass) of dozens of beverages, but the knickknacks make charming stands for holding the bottle on the go. Choi Jinyoung has cleverly crafted a [collection of four animals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/top-dogs-wines) from wood, giving consumers the choice of housing their grape-derived drinks in a penguin, a reindeer, a dog or an elephant. The crisply cut timber pieces are intended to be assembled after purchase, building the skeleton of each of the creatures. The insertion of a wine bottle helps to complete the figure of each animal, giving it bulk around its body, perhaps a neck and, in the case of the elephant, a trunk. Choose your favorite for display on the table, or line up several AB Wine Racks as endearing decoration. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Wooden Wine Racks:** An opportunity to disrupt the traditional wine rack market by offering unique and creative wooden animal-shaped designs. - **Novelty Wine Accessories:** The rise of unique and charming wine accessories like the AB Wine Racks, providing a new category of products for wine enthusiasts looking to add personality to their collections. - **DIY Home Decor:** The popularity of DIY home decor projects, allowing consumers to assemble and customize their own aesthetic wine racks. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture:** A potential disruption to the furniture industry with the introduction of animal-shaped wine racks that offer both functionality and decorative appeal. - **Home Goods:** An opportunity for the home goods industry to cater to the growing demand for whimsical and unique wine accessories. - **Craft Supplies:** The DIY nature of the AB Wine Racks presents a potential niche market within the craft supplies industry for wooden animal-shaped wine rack kits. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wine-Catered Vibrant Artful Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wine-table.md) - [Adorable Pawprint Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-paw-bottle.md) - [Curvaceous Animalistic Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookpet-coffee-table.md) - [Wine-Storage Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/placemat-hightop-table.md) - [Artistic Animalistic Tequilas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dobel-atelier-animales-endmicos.md) - [Wine Storage Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roll-side-table.md) - [Bottle-Optimizing Wine Stoppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wine-stopper-1.md) - [Sizable Wine Refrigerators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/equator-advanced-appliances.md) - [Sculptural Whisky Decanters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistry-in-oak.md)
