The standard

The documented worth rests on origin, ageing potential, condition and demonstrable demand, not on an expectation. The measure is traceability, not the promise of a rise in value.

Criteria

Origin and vintage are documented without gaps
The condition of the bottle is recorded
The ageing potential is reasoned, not asserted
Demand is measured, not assumed

Distinction

Collector value ≠ drinking value: one measures demand and rarity, the other the pleasure in the glass. The documented worth separates a traceable value from the mere hope of a return.
