This little candle comes in the shape of a classic champagne cork with its expanded top, giving an empty champagne bottle new life as a stylish and creative candle holder. Make the party even more fun as you decorate the room with [elegant beverage bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simon-porte-jacquemus) that will have guests wondering about the mysterious flames coming out of the cork. As the "cork" melts, the wax will drip down the sides of the bottle, creating a cool layer that you can build up with more [cork candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candle-refill-kit), which will result in a beautiful vintage-inspired effect. Don't let your [empty champagne bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-champagne-bottle) go to waste. Reuse them with the Champagne Cork Candles and set a festive mood. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Upcycling Decor:** Creating new decorative items from used and discarded materials presents an opportunity for unique design pieces. - **Novelty Candles:** Innovation in candle design creates an opportunity for more creative and unique party decor. - **Vintage-inspired Decor:** Creating products that give off a vintage aesthetic provides a means of capitalizing on the tradition of crafting items by hand. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can capitalize on the trend of upcycling and novelty in their products to capture the attention of consumers who want more unique and sustainable design choices. - **Event Planning:** Event planners can add more creativity to their decor offerings with innovative and novelty candles like the Champagne Cork Candle. - **Crafting Supplies:** Crafting supply companies can take advantage of the trend toward vintage-inspired pieces by marketing products that help consumers create do-it-yourself projects with a vintage aesthetic. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adorable Bee-Inspired Candlesticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beeinspired-candlesticks.md) - [Playful Holiday Candle Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-candle-collection.md) - [Vintage Fire Extinguisher Champagnes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/code-rouge-edition.md) - [Aluminum Sparkling Wine Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceci-1938.md) - [Wine Bottle Cork Trimmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qwikcork.md) - [Luxuriously Scented Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxuriously-scented-candle.md) - [Flame-Free Candle Warmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-candle-warmer-lamp.md) - [Luxurious Sculptural Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-candle-holders.md) - [Brunch Cocktail-Inspired Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brunch-gossip.md)
