# Illuminated Beer Bottles The Heineken Ignite Bottle Turns Backyard Barbecues into Raves By Michael Hines | Published 2013-06-27 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heineken-ignite-bottle References: [thatsnerdalicious](http://www.thatsnerdalicious.com/beer/heineken-ignite-interactive-led-beer-bottle/) & [geekologie](http://geekologie.com/2013/06/worlds-first-interactive-beer-bottle-is.php) The [Heineken](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fields-green-with-grass-not-glass) Ignite bottle is the latest [beer bottle/can redesign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moosehead-breweries) to hit store shelves. Beer companies have recently turned to redesigning their cans and bottles in order to differentiate themselves from the competition. Heineken has decided to add LED lights to its bottles. The lights go off when you cheers someone or take a sip -- oh, and they also flash to the rhythm of the music, should music be playing while you're drinking. Bottles that light-up would definitely put a fun spin on drinking. That being said, the novelty of the Heineken Ignite bottle may wear off sooner rather than later. The Ignite bottle will be coming out in a couple of months. No word has been given yet regarding whether it will be released in a limited run, or how much it will cost. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Smart Beer Packaging:** Adding smart features to beer cans and bottles, such as LED lights, can enhance the consumer experience and differentiate brands from competitors. - **Interactive Beverage Technology:** Incorporating technology into beverage containers can create immersive and interactive experiences for consumers. - **Sensory Branding:** Sensory branding through elements such as light and sound can create a unique brand identity and emotional connection with consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Alcohol Manufacturing:** Beer companies can explore smart packaging technology to differentiate their products and appeal to younger, tech-savvy consumers. - **Event Planning:** Event planners can incorporate interactive beverage technology to create engaging and memorable experiences for attendees. - **Marketing and Branding:** Marketing agencies can utilize sensory branding techniques to help clients create a unique brand identity that resonates with consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Glow-in-the-Dark Water Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-in-the-dark-water-bottle.md) - [Halloween-Themed Alcohol Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloweenthemed-alcohol-bottles-bacardis-limited-edition-bottle-will-light-.md) - [Digital Beer-Pouring Fireplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miller-lites.md) - [Urban Bottle Sustainable Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fields-green-with-grass-not-glass.md) - [Country-Conjoining Beer Can Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-shared-star.md) - [Color-Changing Beer Labels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coors-bottles.md) - [Beer-Cooling Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heineken-billboard.md) - [Glowing Water Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glowyld-collection.md) - [Phosphorescent Energy Drink Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dynamit.md)
