# Curved Bottle Perches Rose & Fitzgerald's Wine Holder Design Dramatically Shows Off a Bottle By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-09-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wine-holder-design References: [fancy](http://fancy.com/things/495826628283205320/Paint-Dipped-Mugavu-Wood-Wine-Holder-by-Rose-) & [toms](http://www.toms.com/rose-and-fitzgerald-paint-dipped-mugavu-wood-wine-holder/p) This wine holder design by [Rose & Fitzgerald](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/santa-margherita-x-loveshackfancy) has an unusual shape that precariously holds a bottle of wine in mid air, upside down. The paint-dipped perch was made by hand by a Ugandan artisan, which makes each [wine bottle holder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puffin-drinkware) a little bit different, especially since the wood grains naturally vary from piece to piece. The Mugavu wood was locally sourced and then dipped in a coat of paraffin-free paint that matches TOMS' branding, which is appropriate considering the [wooden wine holder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aw030001na) is sold on its online store. As well as having a unique shape that would definitely make it a conversation piece, the care that goes into making it is also worth sharing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Handcrafted Wine Holders:** The rise in popularity of handcrafted wine holders creates opportunities for artisans and businesses to showcase unique designs and cater to niche markets. - **Upside-down Wine Display:** The trend towards displaying wine bottles upside-down creates opportunities for innovative bottle holder designs that add an element of surprise and visual interest. - **Local and Sustainable Materials:** The focus on local and sustainable materials increases opportunities for businesses to incorporate eco-friendly practices and appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Artisanal Home Decor:** The artisanal home decor industry can take advantage of the trend towards handcrafted wine holders to offer unique and artistic designs that cater to a niche market. - **Wine Accessories:** Wine accessory companies can leverage the trend towards upside-down wine bottle displays to create innovative bottle holder designs that stand out from competitors. - **Sustainable Retail:** Retail businesses that prioritize local and sustainable materials can appeal to eco-friendly consumers by incorporating products like the locally-sourced and painted Mugavu wood wine holder by Rose & Fitzgerald. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wine-Catered Vibrant Artful Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wine-table.md) - [Unique Upcycled Serving Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-wine-bottle-appetizer-tray.md) - [Artistic Wine Opener Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistic-wine-opener.md) - [Interestingly Shaped Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poise-candle-holder.md) - [Bottle-Optimizing Wine Stoppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wine-stopper-1.md) - [Wine-Storage Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/placemat-hightop-table.md) - [Sculptural Whisky Decanters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistry-in-oak.md) - [Supercar-Inspired Wine Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taron-wine-bottle-designs.md) - [Natural Material Bottle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fuwa-fuwa-collection.md)
