# Intravenous Inebriation Tools Kyle Silber Makes Drinking Festive with the Wino IV By Jessica Marcel | Published 2010-03-26 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wino-iv References: [craftastrophe.net](http://craftastrophe.net/2010/03/wino-iv/) & [kylecrocodile.deviantart](http://kylecrocodile.deviantart.com/art/Wino-I-V-lamp-134051897) Artist and designer Kyle Silber has created this piece which doubles as a lamp and a wine dispenser. The basic design is like an IV and, according to Silber, the Wino IV can hold both red and white [wine bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogelsang-wine-pump) ('cause they're so different from each other). The additional functionality as a lamp really sets the Wino IV apart. People are always making things that add [excitement to drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drop-needle-drinks), but the Wino IV will really light up the night. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 75% | 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) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Functional Home Decor:** Combining two functions into one home decor element creates disruptive innovation opportunities for savvy designers. - **Party Tools:** Creating products that make partying easier and more fun can lead to profitable innovation opportunities. - **Alternative Drinking Experience:** Exploring alternative ways to drink beverages can lead to unique and profitable innovation opportunities. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** Innovations that combine function with home decor can appeal to a new group of consumers and disrupt the industry. - **Beverage Industry:** Innovating with alternative ways of consuming beverages can create new opportunities in the industry. - **Entertainment Industry:** Innovative and unique party tools can capture the attention of consumers and disrupt the entertainment industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hydrating Wine Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/water-and-wine.md) - [Boxed Wine Lawn Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lawn-inflatablecab.md) - [Single-Serve Wine Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coravin-vinitas.md) - [Space-Saving Wine Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-splitglass.md) - [Anti-Hangover Wine Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purewine-wand.md) - [Wine-Themed Holiday Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matching-holiday-sweater.md) - [Bottle-Optimizing Wine Stoppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wine-stopper-1.md) - [Wine-Inspired Gift Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wine-down-gift-set.md) - [Portable Wine Coolers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-wine-cooler.md)
