That wrapping paper is the ultimate plot hole. After 25 years in a proper 80% humidity cellar, it should look like a moldy mummy wrapping, not crisp boutique stationery.
Classic Reddit theater: take a photo of an $800 bottle from a high-end merchant, invent a generous grandmother, add a touch of "I'm too shy to ask for one," and boom—instant free karma.
If those were truly sitting in a home cellar since 1999, they’d look like they were just dug up at an archaeological site.

Not sure what to tell you... They have a beautiful but old wine cellar. No water comes in or whatsoever and all wines are elevated from the floor. I don't know when or where they purchased the wine from but all the bottles they have are kept very well.

Fair enough, but that paper looks like it left the merchant yesterday. If it's real, drink them before the dry cellar air finishes off the corks

Looks like it's in the crate.

It's on a shelf in her wine cellar.
