White wine does not require time to breath before drinking, red wine does require time to breath before drinking for the best possible flavor.
just a quick note on the answer. it is he case that white wine doesnt usually need to breathe but some do as in ch. grillet from northern rhone is best decanted!! just as in everything in life there are exceptions to the rule. it is also good to see how wine develops with time, sometimes going back to a bottle of chardonnay the next day it is better that when first opened, where are some white wines can die after a couple of hours of been opened

∙ 13y agoYou don't have to let any wine breathe. It may, however, improve the flavor.
The notion that this was a "must" came from a time when wines were routinely treated with sulfur dioxide. This is no longer common, so for the most part you don't have to worry about it.
Unless you're pouring straight from the bottle into your mouth, your white wine will probably do all the "breathing" it needs in your glass.

How long do you let old wine breathe?
Letting red wine breathe....really doesn't have that much of an effect on the taste of wine. The practice of letting a bottle of wine breathe comes from way back in the day when sulfur was used in the bottles (I don't know why but whatever). When the bottle would first be opened, it would smell like sulfur....so they let it sit open and the rotten egg smell would be removed.Today however, it really isn't needed. Also, the shape of the bottle lets very little air get to the wine itself and you would be better off just pouring it in a glass to sit while you eat.
