This is an illustrative scenario for a mixed collection of DRC, Pétrus and Château Haut-Brion. Separate it first by producer, official wine and appellation, then verify the vintage, fill level and provenance bottle by bottle.
Split the three names into three distinct lines of enquiry
DRC is an abbreviation for a producer with wines from different vineyards; Pétrus and Château Haut-Brion also have their own formal wine and estate identities. Do not create one shared “prestigious wine” identity field.
- For DRC, add the complete vineyard name.
- Record the appellation and vintage separately for Pétrus and Haut-Brion.
- Give every bottle its own volume, ABV and bottling statements.
Do not borrow storage evidence from another bottle
Record the fill level, closure, seepage, labels, bottle base, wooden case and storage history bottle by bottle. Keeping multiple bottles in one cabinet does not establish identical provenance or storage condition.
- Photograph fill levels from the same angle while retaining each bottle identifier.
- Match the wooden case to each individual bottle.
- Isolate an anomalous bottle and keep it upright first.
Keep provenance and comparisons specific to the wine
An official or statutory source supports only its corresponding estate, appellation or wine. Do not transfer scores, transactions or vintage narratives among DRC, Pétrus and Haut-Brion.
- Link each source page to its individual bottle.
- Leave fields without direct evidence pending verification.
- This scenario does not rank the wines by value.
