Does alcohol evaporate while wine is sitting in a decanter or your glass?

Rubbing alcohol, for instance, seems to evaporate pretty quickly when left open to the air. I wonder if decanted wine or wine sitting in a glass for an hour is measurably weaker in alcohol content due to alcohol evaporation.

No. Only if you leave it open to the air over night. Winemakers recommend that you leave a bottle or carafe of Red Wine open to “breathe” for at least an hour before you serve it.
