As a wine is exposed to oxygen, it releases additional aromas and flavors. This can enhance a fine wine or expose flaws in a cheaper version. When a wine bottle is uncorked, there is only a small amount of surface area exposed to the air. Using a wine breather or wine aerator, the whole amount of the wine will be exposed to air and therefore reach a more mature flavor.
