Overview
Pétrus 2012: identity, condition and appraisal details
Start the photograph set for Pétrus 2012 with the bottle base; the next frame should resolve the fill level. Follow with the producer or estate name shown as Pétrus; separate views of the provenance material, the back label and the vintage marking should not obscure where each detail appears.
Reading the wine details
- Producer / estate: Pétrus
- Product: Pétrus 2012
- Category: wine
- Vintage or date marking: 2012
- Key details: the producer, appellation, vintage, bottle size and bottle-base markings
Trace the description of Pétrus 2012 through clear views of the producer, appellation, vintage, bottle size and bottle-base markings; where a clue is unreadable, provide a closer photograph instead of guessing.
Views to include with the wine
Show Pétrus 2012 as a whole before photographing the front and back labels, fill level, closure, bottle base, vintage marking, original wooden case and accessories; do not crop away the area that identifies where each detail appears.
Show the fill level, closure, labels, signs of seepage and condition of the original wooden case clearly on Pétrus 2012; leave existing wear visible and photograph any damage, repair or absent part where it occurs.
Condition and accessories for the wine
Between photography and handover, keep the bottle in its current stable position, away from heat and direct light, and avoid sudden temperature changes or unnecessary movement; do not disturb the capsule, cork or closure; do not clean the label or separate the bottle from its original case; retain the same arrangement for the next review.
To keep every supplied component traceable to Pétrus 2012, retain each bottle, wooden case, divider, tissue, receipt and provenance document together; match every bottle to its case position before handover; separate views can then record damage or omissions.
