Wines have been bottles and closed to the outside world for usually a period of 4 months up to 8 years in some cases and decades or centuries with some aged wines. After that much time in the bottle the wine needs a bit of time to unfurl and "open" or let the esthers and aromas develop and expand. The flavor components will become more broad and less compact after having some air or some time to "breath."

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.
