Photographs and condition

For the first image set, include front and back labels, closure, fill level, bottle base, batch or cask markings, box and accessories. Show the complete item once before adding tightly framed details.

Before moving the packaging, show fill level, closure, labels, bottle, box and any numbered accessories. Make mismatched packaging or documents clear in the same photo set.
