19 Crimes wine truly embodies a spirit of rebellion, innovation and creativity. It’s a proud Australian wine and a delight to sip. Australia was first established as a British prison colony, “punishment by transportation” was the sentence for those who were guilty of any of 19 different crimes — ranging from counterfeiting the copper coin to stealing a shroud from a grave. These criminals soon became colonists who would establish one of the greatest countries in the world. Each bottle of 19 Crimes bears the image of one of these real-world colonists, and their stories can be explored on the 19 Crimes website or hear them first hand on our augmented reality app – Living Wine Labels. You can find several 19 Crimes offerings on Drizly, including the classic red blend or cabernet sauvignon. You can also check out the bold pinot noir dubbed “The Punishment,” the rum barrel aged “The Uprising” and several other wines with dramatic names and equally intense flavors.
