Identification details
- Product name: Grands Échezeaux 1997
- Category: wine
- Date or decade shown: 1997
- Marks and details to photograph: the producer, appellation, vintage, bottle size and bottle-base markings
For this wine bottle, compare the date wording 1997 with the original case, purchase papers and other matching accessories. That comparison should support the name Grands Échezeaux 1997.
Photographs and condition
Pair the overall item with photos of front and back labels, capsule, closure, fill level, bottle base, case and accessories. Do not crop away the surrounding feature that locates a mark.
Include clear condition views of fill level, capsule, closure, labels, glass and original case. Leave uncertain damage open for another photograph rather than guessing.
Storage, accessories and handover
Before any further handling, keep the bottle in its current stable position, shaded and at a stable cool temperature. Avoid unnecessary movement, vibration, heat and sudden temperature changes. Do not disturb the capsule, cork or closure, and do not clean the label.
When taking photographs, keep each bottle with its own case, tissue, booklet, invoice and provenance documents.
