# Pizza-Specific Wines 'Slice of Wine' is Designed for Pairing Pizza and Wine By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-06-06 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-and-wine References: [packagingoftheworld](http://www.packagingoftheworld.com/2017/06/slice-of-wine.html) & [neleman.es](https://neleman.es/) Pizza and wine make a popular pairing, a match that is celebrated in the packaging for 'Slice of Wine.' Slice of Wine introduces playful wine bottles with [bold graphics of pizza slices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wanderlust-co-x-rubirosa) on them, emphasizing the fact that the alcoholic drinks have been specifically crafted with this specific dish in mind. While it is common for certain types of wine to be paired with broad food categories such as meat or desserts, this one urges [pizza lovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-soda) to enjoy a glass of wine along with a hot pizza pie. Alongside its simple, graphic packaging, the Slice of Wine bottles also feature an easy-to-remove cork for effortless opening. As it stands, production of the product from Neleman is set to happen in the fall of this year. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Pizza-wine Pairings:** Opportunity for wine companies to create themed wine lines that match with popular food categories such as pizza, elevating the experience for consumers. - **Playful Packaging:** Packaging design could be a key differentiator for wines and other beverages.
