Photographs and condition
Keep enough context around close-ups of front and back labels, closure, fill level, bottle base, batch or cask markings, box and accessories. Include the packaging where it helps match a mark to the item.
Use close-ups to show fill level, closure, labels, bottle, box and any numbered accessories. Make mismatched packaging or documents clear in the same photo set.
