Corrections is an annual limited-edition wine series that was inspired by the origin of our flagship label which represents the inhumanity of incarceration. This series is designed to explore how wine labels can be used as a canvas for advocacy. By combining art and wine, Corrections seeks to shift perceptions and narratives, spark important conversations about ending mass incarceration and the urgent need for reform, and ultimately create a demand for change.

About the Label
A detail of Jesse Krimes’ Apokaluptein: 16389067 is brought to life in a wraparound label. Apokaluptein: 16389067 is a monumental 15 by 40-ft artwork that was created during Krimes’s 70-month sentence and was intricately crafted from 39 prison bedsheets. The title, referencing the Greek origin of 'apocalypse' and Jesse's Federal Bureau of Prisons identification number, explores how media perceptions shape societal values. Krimes transferred images onto bedsheets, providing a mental escape from prison and fostering unexpected connections, and showcases artmaking as an act of resistance and community building. 

The choice of linen paper stock in the label design artfully mirrors the appearance and texture of the prison bed sheets that served as Krimes’ canvas. Employing sculptured embossing and debossing techniques, there are wrinkles in the sheets and texture to the joins where Krimes meticulously stitched them together. The deliberate design visually replicates the original work, providing a unique and engaging experience for anyone interacting with the label.
