The Prisoner Unshackled’s Cabernet Sauvignon, limited-edition packaging designed by Canadian street artist Ben Johnston.
Canadian street artist Ben Johnston has teamed up with The Prisoner Wine Company and Unshackled to create a limited-edition holiday packaging for The Prisoner Unshackled’s Cabernet Sauvignon.
Throughout late November and December, the wine will be sold in select Canadian wine shops in a cylindrical black and gold metal tin, inspired by the sort of spray paint cans that Johnston uses in much of his work. Only 1,000 units of the limited-edition packaging have been created.
