Yeast ~~ During fermentation, yeast converts food (in the form of sugar or starch) into alcohol and carbon dioxide. In the production of wine, the conversion of yeast to alcohol is necessary for the final product, and carbon dioxide is what makes sparkling wines effervescent. Modern winemakers carefully choose the yeasts they use in combination with different varieties of grapes. Popular commercially available yeasts used today include Champagne, Epernay, Montrachet, Pasteur Champagne, and Steinberg. Rather than resorting to using cultivated yeasts, some winemakers prefer native yeast fermentation, which relies simply on natural wild yeast spores.
