The Re-Wine Lamp is an [eco-friendly lighting design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corka) made by Miniwiz that turns empty bottles of wine into awesome lamps. The lamp itself is made out of POLLIBER, a material consisting of the byproducts of rice farming and post-consumer thermoplastics. The resulting material is stronger and has a longer lifespan than other products made solely from recycled plastics. The Re-Wine Lamp can be used as a light or as a quirky container for wine bottles. Upcycling is becoming more and more popular, especially with regards to [glass alcohol bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-gin-bottle). It may not be long before there is an entire line of interior furnishings made entirely out of old beer and wine bottles. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 - **Upcycling Interior Decor:** The popularity of upcycling old wine bottles into lamps and containers for home decor presents an opportunity for businesses to introduce a line of interior furnishings made out of recycled glass alcohol bottles. - **Eco-friendly Lighting Design:** The development of eco-friendly lighting designs made out of recycled materials like POLLIBER presents significant disruptive innovation opportunities for businesses in the lighting industry. - **Sustainable Packaging:** The Re-Wine Lamp's use of recycled materials for both its product and packaging presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the packaging industry to develop more sustainable and environmentally-friendly packaging options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** The upcycling of glass alcohol bottles into lamps and decor presents an innovative opportunity for businesses in the interior design industry to expand their sustainability efforts in their products and offerings. - **Lighting:** The use of eco-friendly materials and designs like the Re-Wine Lamp presents significant opportunities for businesses in the lighting industry to adopt more environmentally-friendly practices. - **Packaging:** The Re-Wine Lamp's use of recycled materials for its packaging presents an opportunity for businesses to explore more sustainable and eco-friendly packaging options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Glowing Organic-Waste Sustainable Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lanova-terra.md) - [Urban Debris-Crafted Portable Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remli.md) - [Recycled Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys-collection.md) - [Recyclable Lightweight Wine Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ron-rubin-brands.md) - [Aluminum Wine Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aluminum-wine-bottles.md) - [Environmentally Focused Wine Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wise-wolf-by-banrock-station.md) - [Unique Upcycled Serving Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-wine-bottle-appetizer-tray.md) - [Quirky Paper Wine Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugly-duck.md) - [Eco-Friendly Textured Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terra-lamp-series.md)
