New to wine (and drinking in general) - should you aerate every wine? Some wines?

For context. I just learned about aeration and decanting like 3 days ago. I went to a local meadery and bought a mead and a fruit wine (ok now you’re probably going to tell me those aren’t wine)

Point being, I asked about aeration and the woman at the counter got defensive and aggressive and went off about how that would ruin the taste of such a high quality ($20 bottle) of wine/mead/fruit wine and after that she had no interest in helping me find something I would enjoy.

Am I off base? Is aerating a thing that would benefit?

I sincerely would like to know. I aso have a bottle of ruby port that is heavy on the tannins that from what I’ve read would most definitely benefit from aeration.

Thanks for the feedback:)
