Along the same lines as my tartarate question

Refrigerated. Gases are more soluble in colder liquids.

I'm sorry, I do not understand. Let me rephrase my question. Will a refrigerated wine (in carboy) be more apt to oxidize while bottling than a room temp wine?

Thanks for your patience.

Tom answered you correctly. If gas dissolves in cold liquid better, it will oxidize better (or worse for the winemaker).

Also, if you bottle cold wine and then store at room temperature you may find corks pushing out or bottle breakage due pressure as the contents warm and expand.
