Photographs and condition
Begin at a distance and then move closer to front and back labels, capsule, closure, fill level, bottle base, case and accessories. Pair each close-up with a wider view of the same item.
Capture the current condition of fill level, capsule, closure, labels, glass and original case. Do not clean, polish or hide wear before the photographs are taken.
Storage, accessories and handover
Before handover, 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.
To avoid mixing similar items, keep each bottle with its own case, tissue, booklet, invoice and provenance documents.
