- Marks and details to photograph: the producer, appellation, vintage, bottle size and bottle-base markings
Check the item for the maker or producer name DRC Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and the date wording 1986, then compare the original case, purchase papers and other matching accessories. Both should agree before the product name DRC Richebourg 1986 is accepted.
Photographs and condition
Make the markings readable by photographing front and back labels, capsule, closure, fill level, bottle base, case and accessories. Keep reflections low and show where every detail appears.
For the condition review, show fill level, capsule, closure, labels, glass and original case. Leave marks and wear as found so the photos reflect the current condition.
Storage, accessories and handover
Between photography and handover, store the wine in the same stable position in which it is currently kept, away from light and changing temperatures. Avoid moving it unnecessarily, and leave the capsule, cork, closure and label as found.
When taking photographs, keep each bottle with its own case, tissue, booklet, invoice and provenance documents.
