It depends on where the wine is coming from. JKR nevers gives a clue
where the wine is coming from. But that is besides the point. When
wine is first removed from the cellar it is either prepared to be
open. Which means it is cleaned up for presentation or if it is to
be served ASAP than you present it in the condition it is in.

But the proper way would be to clean up the bottle to show the brand
and the age off to the satisfaction of the host or hostess. I could
go on and on, but that is the proper way to serve wine.
