Yes, obviously. Open a bottle of red wine, pour a few glasses, put the cork back in and leave the bottle unopened for a week, and bang oxidation.

Does the volume of wine vs. air in the vessel have a significant impact?

I imagine if you filled a jar with cubes and wine, with minimal head space you could minimize oxygenation.

But I could be wrong.
