Yes
Yes
No

>yes, it should be consumed that day, or within 2-3 days at most, though removing the air and storing it in the fridge will help, and higher alcohol wines will lose quality at a slower rate

>not usually

>no, but they're dumb for white wine because the heat from your hand will bring down the temperature

>only if using a natural cork and storing it long term, as the cork will dry out and crumble otherwise, but that's part of the reason to decant

Don't be such a pussy about wine. Just drink that shit. Carmenere, Malbec, and Rhone blends are top tier btw. Fuck Bordeaux.
