Which details should be used to establish the identity of fine wine?

For fine wine, label each item clearly and note producer or brand, vintage, appellation, volume and back label. Photograph full bottle, front and back labels, neck and capsule, fill level, bottle base and outer case; do not rely on a nickname or one group photograph.

How should condition issues affecting fine wine be recorded?

For fine wine, show the item in full, then photograph the exact location of each issue and note fill level, labels, capsule, leakage, original wooden case and storage history. Do not clean labels, add adhesive or replace the packaging.

Should fine wine be cleaned or repaired before review?

For fine wine, do not clean labels, add adhesive or replace the packaging. Photograph the original condition before deciding whether any treatment would alter verifiable details.

How can editions or accessories for fine wine be kept from being mixed up?

For fine wine, use one label and one image sequence per item. Photograph boxes, cards, labels, receipts and other accessories separately, and state whether each pairing is verified.
