re: Letting wine breathe... real or placebo?

"But merely uncorking a bottle and letting it sit for a bit is insufficient. In order to truly aerate wine, as much of its surface area as possible must be exposed to oxygen."

ok, dumb question time here

lets say you make your own wine in 5 gallon water jugs

after the wine is finished, but before you bottle it, would using a live well aerator pump to aerate the wine help?
