Breathing

To allow a wine to mix with the air.
Aeration occurs by decanting the wine ia a large container or large wineglass. Breathing can be beneficial for many wines especially reds.
Breathing enables oxygen to mix with the wine, which speeds the aging process. To let a wine breathe or not before serving depends on the wine.
It is not always beneficial to let older wines breathe prior to drinking.
