Without cleaning anything, photograph fill level, closure, labels, bottle, box and any numbered accessories. Leave marks and wear as found so the photos reflect the current condition.
Storage, accessories and handover
While waiting for review, leave the bottle upright in a dark place with a stable temperature. Do not open or disturb the seal, stopper, cork or closure.
