Keeping condition and packaging unchanged
Before handover, keep the bottle in its current stable position, away from heat and direct light, and avoid sudden temperature changes or unnecessary movement; do not disturb the capsule, cork or closure; do not clean the label or separate the bottle from its original case; photograph any existing issue before moving it.
With the bottle, keep each bottle, wooden case, divider, tissue, receipt and provenance document together; match every bottle to its case position before handover; give any damaged, unmatched or missing component its own photograph.
