Hi :)
I'm brand new to wine making, in fact, I've just started my very first batch yesterday (Yoopers Welches Grape Juice wine). I've been reading threads where people talk about degassing. I'm pretty sure I understand why and how it's done, my question is when to do it, do you have to do it to every wine, and, wouldn't you have to worry about oxidation while doing this?
 
Any short-term process wine needs to be degassed. Long term process allows the gas to escape naturally.

If done correctly, minimal oxidation occurs. If done under negative pressure, no oxidation occurs.
