About this site

Bottle facts are published only after review. Time-sensitive claims retain source and verification dates. Missing information is omitted or labelled “Not recorded”; it is never silently treated as zero or false.

Producer descriptions, third-party facts, collector notes, and AI-assisted editorial copy remain distinct content types.

Every displayed rating names its source and scale or award. Community, editorial, competition, retailer, and collector ratings are not combined into a universal score and are never labelled “official” without a specific governing source.

AI is an optional offline editorial tool, not a runtime dependency. It receives approved public grounding fields only, writes drafts, records model and prompt provenance, and does not publish until a human marks the draft approved.

Image copyright holder, photographer credit, and a corrections contact remain owner-supplied fields: [COPYRIGHT HOLDER], [PHOTOGRAPHER], [CORRECTIONS CONTACT].

Original photographs are kept private and unchanged. Public derivatives remove GPS, device, timestamp, and other unnecessary metadata.
