If you can be sure that there will not be
such a temperature increase (even if there is a power failure and your
refrigeration system goes south for the winter), you could use 1/2-3/4" on
all vessels, but the same surface area would be exposed, and there would
be
little difference in oxidation.

Wouldn't the amount of oxygen available is proportional to the _volume_ of
the head space, and the _rate_ of transfer to the wine would be proportional
to the surface area?
