Identification details

• Brand / Champagne house: Krug
• Product name: Krug 1962 Champagne

• Date or decade shown: 1962
• Marks and details to photograph: the Champagne house, vintage, bottle size, label details and bottle-base markings

Photographs and condition

Show the packaging beside the item, then photograph front and back labels, foil, closure, fill level, bottle base, case and accessories. Use steady focus and enough surrounding area to locate each detail.

To record condition clearly, photograph fill level, foil, closure, labels, glass and original case. Photograph flaws directly rather than cleaning or disguising them.

Storage, accessories and handover

Before the item is moved, maintain the bottle's present stable position in a cool, dark place and minimise vibration. Do not disturb the foil, capsule, cork or closure before review.

When preparing for collection, keep each bottle with its own box, booklet, invoice and provenance documents.
