Identification details
- Maker: Hennessy

- Marks and details to photograph: the brand, expression or grade, bottle size, bottle engraving and edition markings
A direct check of the Cognac bottle or decanter should find the maker or producer name Hennessy. That detail helps separate Hennessy Napoléon Cognac from a similarly named item.
Photographs and condition
Use a straight-on view when photographing front and back labels, closure or stopper, fill level, bottle base, engraving, box and accessories. Keep the item and its packaging in the same photo sequence.
Keep the present state visible by showing fill level, seal, stopper, labels, bottle or decanter and presentation box. Do not clean, polish or hide wear before the photographs are taken.
Storage, accessories and handover
To avoid changing the condition, store the Cognac upright away from direct light and heat. Leave the seal, stopper, cork, closure, glass and label in their current condition.
During the first review, keep the stopper, box, booklet and purchase documents with the bottle or decanter they accompany.
