# Fermented Artisan Drinks The Wild Tonic Hard Jun Kombucha Has a 7.6% ABV By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2018-10-13 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hard-jun-kombucha References: [foodbev](https://www.foodbev.com/news/wild-tonic-releases-alcoholic-hard-jun-kombucha-range/) & [wildtonic](https://www.wildtonic.com) The Wild Tonic Hard Jun Kombucha range has been introduced by Good Omen Bottling as a new product for consumers to try when seeking out a different kind of libation to enjoy. The drink maintains a 7.6% ABV, which makes it a hard beverage that should be handled just like traditional beers and ciders, but will offer a distinctly different kind of driving experience. The drinks come in three flavor variations including 'Mind Spank,' 'Dancing Naked' and 'Wild Love,' and are all naturally made to present consumers with a healthier alternative to traditional alcohol beverages. Explaining the new Wild Tonic Hard Jun Kombucha, Founder Holly Lyman, said, "The flavour profiles were inspired purely from an intuitive space where I am guided without rational thought interfering, much like when I am creating art. My main objective was to create flavors that complement the subtle nature of the Jun alcohol ferment! Although a few companies in the country currently produce and sell an alcohol Kombucha nationally, Wild Tonic is the first manufacturer of high alcohol Jun to be distributed nationally." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fermented Artisan Drinks:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new flavors and variations of artisan fermented drinks to cater to consumers seeking healthier and unique alternatives to traditional alcoholic beverages. - **Hard Kombucha:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create high-alcohol kombucha beverages that offer a distinctly different drinking experience compared to traditional beers and ciders. - **Naturally Made Alcoholic Beverages:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Produce more naturally made alcoholic beverages that provide consumers with a healthier alternative to traditional alcohol beverages. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Craft Beverage Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Tap into the craft beverage industry by introducing fermented artisan drinks and hard kombucha, offering unique and healthier options to consumers. - **Alcoholic Beverage Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Disrupt the alcoholic beverage industry by developing naturally made alcoholic beverages that prioritize health and offer a distinct alternative to traditional drinks. - **Healthy Beverage Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Target the healthy beverage industry by creating naturally made alcoholic beverages that cater to health-conscious consumers seeking alternative options to traditional alcoholic beverages. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Jalapeno-Spiked Hard Kombuchas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jalapeno-hard-kombucha.md) - [Blueberry-Spiked Hard Kombuchas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blueberry-hard-kombuchas.md) - [Nostalgic Hard Cherry Limeades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hard-cherry-limeade.md) - [Canned Hard Juices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-nectar-hard-juice.md) - [Authentic Boozy Craft Kombuchas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craft-kombucha.md) - [Non-Alcoholic Functional Tonics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mood-by-boochcraft.md) - [High-ABV Hard Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hard-tea-in-a-can.md) - [Snow Cone-Flavored Kombuchas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flavored-kombucha.md) - [Peachy Hard Kombuchas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiant-hard-kombucha.md)
