Understanding why evaporation happens and how it affects value.
Volume Discrepancy (Angel's Share)
Evaporation rates depend on bottle storage and architecture:
Architecture Vulnerabilities
- **Splash Bottles**: The worst seals. Air enters every time the bottle is opened. Natural corks rot or shrink.
- **Spray Bottles**: Crimp-top sprayers are highly secure but can slow-leak if the rubber gaskets inside degrade.
- **Extrait Flacons**: Ground glass stoppers sealed with baudruchage offer excellent protection, but can still lose volume if stored in warm environments.
