Photographs and condition
Pair the overall item with photos of front and back labels, capsule, closure, fill level, bottle base, case and accessories. Make sure the overview and detail images clearly belong together.
Document fill level, capsule, closure, labels, glass and original case. Photograph flaws directly rather than cleaning or disguising them.
Storage, accessories and handover
Once the images are complete, leave the bottle in its present stable position in a dark place with an even, cool temperature. Minimise movement and vibration, and leave the capsule, cork, closure and label untouched.
Until handover, keep each bottle with its own case, tissue, booklet, invoice and provenance documents.
