# Solar-Powered Mezcals Mezcal de Leyendas' Vinata Solar is Produced Entirely with Solar Energy By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2021-05-14 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mezcal-de-leyendas-vinata-solar References: [beveragedaily](https://www.beveragedaily.com/Article/2021/04/27/New-beverage-launches-around-the-globe-April-2021) & [mezcaldeleyendas](https://mezcaldeleyendas.com/solar/) [Mezcal de Leyendas' Vinata Solar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mezcal-palenque) is being introduced as the world's first mezcal made entirely with solar energy. The clear, unaged mezcal is distilled in a tractor that was turned into a solar panel-powered still and it is packaged in a cheery custom yellow bottle that references the involvement of the sun at every step of production. By using only [solar energy to produce the product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oakham-sun-city), the brand greatly reduces its environmental footprint. Additionally, the brand champions shared technology so there are DIY instructions for putting together the proprietary tractor-turned-solar-powered-still. The product itself is said to be bright with herbal aromas and sweet agave flavors and a "clean, long-lasting candied finish." This product and its bold bottle color is a limited production that stands out in the brand's [range of mezcals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/el-cristiano). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 10% - 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 - **Solar-powered Spirits:** Opportunity for distilleries to reduce their environmental footprint by using renewable energy sources in production processes. - **Shared Technology:** Brands can promote sustainability and innovation by sharing DIY instructions for renewable energy equipment used in their production processes. - **Bold Packaging:** Limited production products with unique and striking packaging designs can help brands stand out in a crowded market and attract environmentally conscious consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Distilleries:** Distilleries can reduce their carbon footprint by implementing renewable energy sources in their production processes, which can appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. - **Renewable Energy:** Manufacturers of renewable energy equipment can benefit from partnering with distilleries and other companies seeking to reduce their carbon footprint. - **Packaging:** Packaging companies can help brands create unique and eco-friendly designs that appeal to environmentally conscious consumers and differentiate from competitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Premium Mexican Mezcals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contraluz-cristalino-mezcal.md) - [Clean Artisanal Mezcals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doce-mezcal.md) - [Unique Mezcal Expressions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/single-barrel-aejo.md) - [Artisanal Agave Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artisanal-agave-spirits.md) - [Extravagant Limited Edition Mezcals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-mezcal.md) - [Sustainable Mezcal Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-mezcal.md) - [Ultra-Premium Artisanal Mezcals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artisanal-mezcal.md) - [Solar-Celebrating Summer Ales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-summer-ale.md) - [Expanded Eco-Conscious Mezcals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rosaluna-1.md)
