How do you overcome the mental burden of opening a bottle?

I started my wine journey not long ago, and whenever I buy some bottles, I run into this situation. It's either:

  1. the bottle is kinda "expensive" (the amount is irrelevant, just "expensive" for me) so I wait until the right occasion, whatever it may be. This means that other "less prominent" occasions are filled with lesser wines, so I kind of miss the opportunity?

  2. the bottle is okayish cost wise, but I may not finish it on time, and I don't want to spoil it. Say it Tuesday night, I just want a glass of wine to do some tasting and then dinner, but won't drink it all. The wine is probably not worth investing on coravin, but on the same time I feel I taste less things because of that. I'm now thinking about getting one of these oxygen pumps but I'm not even sure they are worth it.

People with longer wine history than I, did you run into these scenarios? Did you find a way to overcome them? tyvm
