Do the same principles hold for sparkling wine?

I'm not sure what you're asking.

I guess I'm mostly concerned that the flavor threshold will be lower when there are bubbles. And also with a container that is sealed to keep the carbonation in will the so2 still dissipate?

When I was at Fry's Electronics I picked up a nifty air blower for electronics that uses the small CO2 cartridges like you'd find for the tap a draft systems or the old bb guns. I just dunk the whole thing in some starsan and use it to flush the receiving carboy with CO2 and then rack into it, pushing any remaining lighter oxygen out. I figure that should be pretty useful in preventing oxidation as it ages. The blower cost me about 10 bucks.
