Grands Échezeaux 1998: identification and appraisal guide
Photograph Grands Échezeaux 1998 before cleaning or rearranging anything, showing the whole wine bottle, its condition and packaging in context. Pair the full view of the wine bottle with the date wording 1998 so the mark cannot be confused with an accessory.
Identification details
- Product name: Grands Échezeaux 1998
- Category: wine
- Date or decade shown: 1998
- Marks and details to photograph: the producer, appellation, vintage, bottle size and bottle-base markings
The date wording 1998 is the detail to compare with the name Grands Échezeaux 1998. If the packaging says something different, photograph both.
Photographs and condition
Keep the item still while photographing front and back labels, capsule, closure, fill level, bottle base, case and accessories. Use neutral light and keep the full item easy to recognise.
Before moving the packaging, show fill level, capsule, closure, labels, glass and original case. Photograph flaws directly rather than cleaning or disguising them.
Storage, accessories and handover
Between photography and handover, keep the bottle steady in its existing position, with low light and a consistently cool temperature. Avoid vibration or repeated handling. Do not disturb the capsule, cork, closure or label.
While the details are checked, keep each bottle with its own case, tissue, booklet, invoice and provenance documents.
