The label takes it's name from England's historic practice of shipping convicts to penal colonies in Australia. 19 Crimes references specific crimes whose punishment was automatic transportation to the Australian penal colonies between 1788 and 1868. While 19 is the number of crimes often cited that carried this penalty, historically there were many more crimes that resulted in the same sentence. 19 Crimes' bottles all carry photos of real convicts transported to Australia
