here's proof:
1. they don't let wine breathe in restaurants, now do they?
2. grapes don't breathe, now do they?
3. no other foods or drinks breathe, now do they?
4. so how is it that only wine needs to breathe?
5. which reminds me of something i saw on facebook recently: let the wine breathe. if it does not appear to be breathing, give it mouth-to-mouth.
