A bottle of wine has a tapered "neck" to minimize the surface area of wine in contact with air. Air is bad. Oxygen "oxidizes" elements of the wine . Wine also creates or releses d=gases on fillinbg that purge air from the space above the wine. Once you open a bottle thes gases could escape and be exchanged with air. Once you remove wine from a "full bottle" ( filled into the neck) you are definitely introducing air that will destroy the wine. Cheers!

Can you swirl wine too much?
Two reasons. 1. Swirling wines draws air into the wine. The mixture of air and wine releases and intensifies the aroma of the wine. It is customary to smell your wine prior to the first sip as part of the tasting experience. Not only is this fun to do, it gives you an idea of what you are about to taste. 2. Some wines are to dry for the consumers taste. This is usually due to tannic acids in the wine. Swirling the wine draws oxygen from the air into the wine. The oxygen reacts with the tannic acid causing the wine to mellow. You should only do this when you do not like the wine in it's current state. *** Never swirl champagne or sparkling wines *** This removes the carbonation and causes the wine to go flat.
