How does this reconcile with the need to let a wine "breathe" before drinking it? Is that a myth?

- barrkel 6y agoVarious things start evaporating once you open (e.g. barnyard aromas can blow off), and something does seem to happen to the tannins - they get smoother.
- staticautomatic 6y agoNo it’s not. The wine will improve as it oxidizes- up to a point. After that, oxidation makes it go bad. Where that point is depends on the wine.
