Liquid Death has unveiled its newest partnership, this time teaming up with rebellious wine label 19 Crimes. Together, the two disruptors are releasing a limited-edition bottle dubbed Severed Red.

Severed Red is crafted as a deep, velvety red blend described as “ominously dark,” delivering layers of flavor that unfold like a slow-burning riff. Notes of toasted hazelnut, coconut, and violet give the wine an unexpectedly plush profile. Additionally, a splash of Liquid Death Mountain Water is mixed into every bottle—an offbeat twist that creates a refreshingly clean finish.

To mark the launch, 19 Crimes has given Liquid Death’s skeletal mascot, Murder Man, his own place in the brand’s notorious lineup of outlaws. In the tie-in campaign, Murder Man is officially “charged” with the offense he commits daily: Murdering Thirsts. In true 19 Crimes fashion, each bottle of Severed Red features an interactive QR code that unlocks an augmented reality moment.
