Krug 1988 Champagne: identification and appraisal guide
Photograph the Champagne bottle and packaging for Krug 1988 Champagne together before taking separate close-ups of the visible details. Treat the date wording 1988 as an identity check. Photographs of wear belong in the condition sequence.
Identification details
- Brand / Champagne house: Krug
- Product name: Krug 1988 Champagne
- Category: Champagne
- Date or decade shown: 1988
- Marks and details to photograph: the Champagne house, vintage, bottle size, label details and bottle-base markings
Read the maker or producer name Krug and the date wording 1988 from the item and keep them tied to the Champagne bottle. That is the starting point for reviewing Krug 1988 Champagne.
Photographs and condition
Use a straight-on view when photographing front and back labels, foil, closure, fill level, bottle base, case and accessories. Avoid filters that could change colour or surface appearance.
Without cleaning anything, photograph fill level, foil, closure, labels, glass and original case. Leave marks and wear as found so the photos reflect the current condition.
Storage, accessories and handover
During the initial review period, protect the bottle from light, heat and repeated movement while keeping its current position stable. Leave the foil, capsule, cork and closure exactly as found.
Before anything is moved, keep each bottle with its own box, booklet, invoice and provenance documents.
