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!
