Roz,
The quantity of required oil is very small. But if you insist in having it discarded before drinking the wine there are at least two easy ways,
One way is to poor the wine in a container with a tap at the bottom. After waiting a little until the oil has settled on the top of the wine you take out the wine through the bottom tap leaving the oil inside.
An other way is to hold a paper tissue (kleenex type, preferably double ply) with both hands at two corners & quickly pull it through the surface of the wine: the oil will stick to the paper. If one time is not enough use more tissues.
By the way, this last method works well with removing excess fat from foods such as chicken soups.
This brings to my mind an other method for both soups & wines (although I have not tried it with wine) : refrigeration to let the top surface fat become solid which makes it easy to remove with a spoon.
