From what I have heard/read/know, any change in the environment - temp, light or vibration - will speed the maturation in an unnatural way. You want slow maturation for the best results. And the cork must remain 'wet' to prevent it from drying out which would let air/bacteria in.
I have found that a wine I bring back from Europe needs a rest period before it recovers. This might be in my head, or it might be the altitude but wine seems to go into shock with lots of movement. After a rest of several months, it recovers.
But then, I just might be an obsessed wino.
