degassing

Sounds like you got your classes mixed up Hotsie. Are you sure you weren't in the sexology department by mistake??? Spanking wine, indeed...

Seriously, I cannot imagine any reason to treat wine so harshly, especially when the CO2 remaining after fermentation is generally benign and mostly gone by bottling time.

Now, if the CO2 is full and violent after fermentation, the fermentation may not have been completed.
