It depends on the wine grade. Many commercial wines are filtered so that there's no active yeast in the bottle, so you can leave them sealed until the sun goes nova and you're going to get negligible change in the flavor because anything active in the must was removed. Fine wines are of course not so abused, so they may change, and this is why they require decanting. (which is often a process that requires sight)
