The trade
CapturedOne bottle is filled at the named place, at the named hour. Then the shelf moves on.
DispatchedIt reaches the inbox you name in ninety seconds, sealed, sender withheld.
CorkedThey hear the air, exactly once. Then the certificate, and your name last.
The house has one rule. Nothing is ever poured twice. Each bottle is drawn from a single place at a single hour, numbered, and sealed. What is inside has never existed before and will not exist again.
The certificate travels with the bottle. Place, hour, tasting notes, then the name of the sender, in that order and never another.
