wine yeast

Grape juice converter

Wine yeast is a strain of yeast specifically cultivated for fermenting grape juice into wine.

Different strains produce different flavor profiles, alcohol tolerances, and fermentation speeds.

Winemakers select yeasts to complement particular grape varieties or achieve desired characteristics: She chose a Burgundy wine yeast for the Pinot Noir.
