19 Crimes

19 Crimes is a wine brand operated by Australian wine company Treasury Wine Estates. Its brand story is built around the history of British criminal transportation to Australia, using portraits of historical figures on its packaging and digital interactivity to extend those stories for consumers. Red wine has been central to the range, which has also expanded into white, rosé and sparkling categories. The brand’s differentiation comes from combining historical storytelling, character-led packaging and interactive consumer experiences with mainstream wine products.

19 Crimes is a wine brand owned and operated by Treasury Wine Estates and was introduced around 2012. Its name draws on the historical narrative of British transportation of certain criminals to Australia. The brand translated that theme into recognizable packaging, using portraits associated with the transportation story and content that explains the figures represented. While red wine has remained central to the range, the brand has expanded into categories including white, rosé and sparkling wine. Its marketing has emphasized character stories, distinctive labels and digital interaction rather than traditional appellation-led or winemaker-led positioning. Public information about individual product releases, market-by-market launch dates and brand executives is limited, so some details require further verification.
