19 Crimes?
I’ve heard that Australia was originally established as a penal colony. There were 19 specific crimes that, if someone was found guilty of them, they would be sent to Australia. There’s also a wine brand called 19 Crimes that features a mugshot of a convicted individual on its label. Is this true?

One thought on “19 crimes?”

  1. Yes, that’s true! Australia was established as a penal colony by the British in the late 18th century, and many individuals were sent there for convict-related offenses. The “19 Crimes” refers to specific crimes that could result in transportation to Australia during that time, which included offenses like theft, robbery, and forgery, among others.

    The wine company “19 Crimes” creatively uses the history of these crimes and features the mugshots of actual convicts on their labels. Each label tells the story of a specific convict, bringing a piece of history to life through their branding. It’s a unique way to connect the past with the present while enjoying a glass of wine!
