Alcohol is the result of fermentation, which turns into a microorganism (yeast) of sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Yeast is a living organism that is critical to winemaking. Without yeast, there would be cheese to beer, wine or spirits, bread, yogurt o.
"God is good" as the yeast was called before 1859, when Louis Pasteur discovered that a single-celled organism responsible for converting sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide. L 'Egyptians were the first users of yeasts. They prepared the wine and bread baked. Yeasts are about 6-8 microns (one micron is 1 millionth of a millimeter), it takes about 20 billion of them to 1 gram of yeast and the chemical reaction C6H12O6 + yeast = 2C2H5OH + 2CO2.
Three of the wine yeasts are common:
Banyus Saccharomyces – the flavorings used for sparkling wines, known for its compact lees and yeast production. High tolerance of alcoholand a good tolerance to levels of S02. Often used to restart stuck fermentations under arrest again. Examples of this yeast are CE-1118, and Prise de Mousse.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae – A good base for wine fruity and aromatic. degradation of favored and should be used with nutrients. Examples include yeast D47, Epernay II, K1-V1116, Montrachet, Red Pasture
Saccharomyces Fermentation – This is a Flor Sherry wine yeast used for the production of sherry-type and helps mediatewell-rounded, full taste with Sherry connected. Often used in conjunction with aerobic fermentation.
Yeast is in business with a well-known 'master' of yeast, molasses or sugar feeding others they multiplied and grew crops. Freeze-dried yeast is the most popular form of yeast for winemaking. E 'kept in the refrigerator until needed. Yeast is "re-hydrate" from each other in water at 40 ° C and leave for 20-30 minutes. This ispoured the wine must begin fermentation.
There are hundreds of different yeasts for wine production. Yeasts naturally present on the skin of grapes, but we kill them before fermentation. These wild yeasts is unpredictable and who knows what flavor would you end up with. The winemaker decides what results he wants, before fermentation.
An example of a wine yeast and the information that theCantina is located below the Lalvin companies represented.

Lalvin (dry) specific wine yeast ICV D-47
Source
This strain was obtained from grapes of the Côtes-du-Rhone region in France by Dr. Dominique Delteil, Director of the Department of Microbiology, Institute Coopératif du Vin (ICV), isolated grew up in Montpellier. ICV D-47 strain was collected from 450 selected isolates zwischen 1986 and 1990.
WINE PROPERTY 'AND APPLICATIONS
L 'ICV D-47 is a low-foaming quick fermenter that settles well, formed a compact lees at the end of fermentation. This strain tolerates fermentation temperatures of 10 ° to 30 ° C (50 ° to 86 ° F) and enhances mouthfeel, with complex carbohydrates. Malolactic fermentation in wine revenue more than 47 issued by D-ICV.
This variety is recommended for the production of varieties of white wines such as Chardonnay and Rosé. E 'is also an excellent choice for the production of Met,Rest assured with yeast nutrients, especially nitrogen supplement use.

And the things you put on a label of alcohol:
According to Australian law, a "product" must be a statement of the volume percentage of ethanol is 20 ° C, expressed to the nearest one decimal place, and an accuracy of 0.5% ethanol at 20 ° C and can be:
1. Marked as wine has an alcohol content between 6.5% and 15% ethanolVolume at 20 ° C
2. Called a low-alcohol drink, if not more than 1.15% ethanol by volume at 20 ° C
3. Called a reduced alcohol wine, when more than 1.15% but not more than 6.5% ethanol by volume at 20 ° C
4. Wine represented as it was not for alcohol containing more than 0.5% ethanol by volume at 20 ° C and the variety of wine you can substitute the word
5. Called a fortified wine (which is not a name givenas opposed to port), if more than 15% and less than 22% ethanol by volume at 20 ° C
…
These definitions vary throughout the world. And not just for reasons of health or marketing, that the alcohol content is listed. A higher alcohol wine designed for higher fees in many parts of the world. You may see the words "test" on some labels. The test is simply the percentage of alcohol twice When a wine is 14% alcohol is 28 proof. This is mainly used alcohol ratherwine. We list the yeast in our wines in our tasting notes so now you have used a bit 'more understanding of what is at stake.
And even if this is completely unrelated with the wine, I found this while reading about yeast.
bread flavor in the crust is formed when it reaches a temperature of 150 ° C to 180 ° C, while the internal temperature of bread does not exceed 99 ° C. The higher temperature causes the sugar to caramelize the paste to create a fruity or winyOdor. The removal of the crust after baking to prevent crust crumbs to absorb the flavors to taste differently.
