Overview
Richebourg 1989: identification and appraisal guide
Keep Richebourg 1989 in its present condition while photographing the whole wine bottle, close-up details and any box or documents. The initial images should make the date wording 1989 legible without hiding the rest of the wine bottle.
Identification details
- Product name: Richebourg 1989
- Category: wine
- Date or decade shown: 1989
- Marks and details to photograph: the producer, appellation, vintage, bottle size and bottle-base markings
Use the date wording 1989 to confirm the item shown as Richebourg 1989. Do not fill an unreadable date or version from another item.
Photographs and condition
Add a wider companion image for close-ups of front and back labels, capsule, closure, fill level, bottle base, case and accessories. Avoid filters that could change colour or surface appearance.
Capture the current condition of 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
To preserve the present condition, 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.
Until handover, keep each bottle with its own case, tissue, booklet, invoice and provenance documents.
