Photographs and condition
Start with one full view, then photograph front and back labels, capsule, closure, fill level, bottle base, case and accessories. Show the complete item once before adding tightly framed details.
Before moving the packaging, show fill level, capsule, closure, labels, glass and original case. Show wear in context and include a closer image of any serious damage.
Storage, accessories and handover
After the condition photos are taken, retain the bottle's current stable position and protect it from light, heat, vibration and temperature swings. Do not disturb the capsule, cork or closure or attempt to clean the label.
For handover, keep each bottle with its own case, tissue, booklet, invoice and provenance documents.
