Our take
What we make of this bottle
Our September 2026 checks found this bottle for as little as $9.99, and that puts it near the cheap end of the reds we track. It is a red blend from Australia, sold in a 750 ml bottle under the 19 Crimes label.
Australia on a wine label names a country, not a district. Growing areas inside that country run from cool sites near the coast or up in the hills to warm districts far inland, so the one word does not describe a single kind of season. Australia is itself a protected geographical indication for wine, and the same official register carries narrower names too, from whole states down to subregions. This label uses the widest name of all, the country.
On its own terms page, 19 Crimes says the brand and its website are owned by Treasury Wine Estates. We do not have a shopper rating for this wine. The same September 2026 checks that found the low price also found the bottle at $16.99.
Which grapes make up the blend is unconfirmed; the prices above come from September 2026 checks across ten stores.
19 Crimes' own materials trace the brand's name to that same list of 19 offenses, and the producer frames its wines as a tribute to the transported convicts who became colonists. For this collection the producer highlights John Boyle O'Reilly, an 1867 transportee who wrote poetry aboard the convict ship and later escaped to America, though our evidence does not confirm he is the specific figure pictured on this exact bottle rather than elsewhere in the line. The product page describes the wine itself as 'rich and round with a soft fruity finish,' with 'sweet aromatics with notes of chocolate,' the producer's words; it does not name a grape blend, a region, or an alcohol percentage.
Our call: an easy, low-cost pick if the price and the convict-transportation story are enough for you; it sits near the cheap end of the reds we track, and 19 Crimes' own account gives the label real history even though the wine is sold simply as a red blend. Pass if you want to know what is actually in the bottle or how shoppers have rated it; no grape blend is disclosed and no shopper rating has reached our record.

Research status
What we are still checking
Our overview above draws on the dated store feed, shopper ratings, our region and grape research, and any sourced producer facts. We are still working to confirm the current release, the full producer record, and the bottle itself, and we update this page as we learn more.
Getting to know Australia.
An Australian label establishes country origin but covers many different vineyard settings. The named region, when present, is needed before attaching local climate or soil detail.
What the name means
Australia is a protected national wine geographical indication. The official register also contains narrower state, zone, region and subregion names.
How grapes grow here
Australian wine regions range from cool maritime and high-elevation sites to warm inland districts. The country name cannot describe one growing season or temperature pattern.
What lies under the vines
Ancient weathered ground, limestone, sand, clay, gravel and alluvial soils occur across the registered regions. No single soil profile follows from an Australia-only label.
How large the region is
- Wine regions
- Wine Australia reports about 65 wine-growing regions.
- Growers
- The national sector includes about 6,000 grape growers.
Places within the region
- Registered places
- The Wine Australia register separates the national GI from states, zones, regions and subregions.
- What to check next
- Look for a place such as Barossa Valley, Margaret River, Riverland or Tasmania before adding regional detail.
