Ubisoft and winemaker Lot18 recently announced a new line of Assassin's Creed Wine, based on the iconic video game series that spans history and cultures. Each of the bottles featured in the Assassin's Creed Wine collection will feature one of the six assassins from the series, including Assassin's Creed II's Ezio Auditore, Assassin's Creed Origins' Bayek of Siwa, Assassin's Creed's Altaïr Ibn-La'ahad, Assassin's Creed Unity's Arno Dorian, Assassin's Creed III: Liberation' Aveline de Grandpré, and Assassin's Creed III's Connor.
The Assassin's Creed Wine collection can be purchased as an entire package, and in both half case formats and individually by the bottle. Ubisoft is not the first company to partner with Lot18 to produce entertainment-focused wines, as AMC's The Walking Dead has also worked with the winemaker.
