Use close-ups to show fill level, capsule, closure, labels, glass and original case. Do not rearrange parts simply to make the item appear complete.
Storage, accessories and handover
Until Hong Kang advises the next step, keep the bottle steady in its existing position, with low light and a consistently cool temperature. Avoid vibration or repeated handling. Do not disturb the capsule, cork, closure or label.
While the details are checked, keep each bottle with its own case, tissue, booklet, invoice and provenance documents.
