Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a major yeast species, often used to ferment white wines.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae
One of the main yeast species found in grapes and wines throughout the world. Most of the yeast strains used to ferment white wines are of this species.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is extensively used as a model organism by biologists studying genetics and molecular biology, as well as by protein engineers who use Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a host for yeast display.

Top-fermenting yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) are used for beers and ales whilst bottom fermenting yeasts (Saccharomyces carlsbergensis) are used for lager style beers. Use the correct yeast for the intended purpose, i.e.

The most common yeast to referment wine is the standard wine fermentation yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but has also been attributed to Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Zygosaccharomyces bailii[10].

Choice. Many different strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been isolated and have different properties. Some produce very fruity (estery) aromas, others produce more neutral characters. Some ferment better at colder temperatures than others.

Not baking yeast and not brewer's yeast ! Technically it's called Saccharomyces Cerevisiae - Ellipsoideus. It is always included with wine kits and you can't produce wine without it.

The predominant wine yeast, saccharomyces cerevisiae, is the same micro-organism that ferments beer and makes bread dough rise. Three categories of yeasts are common, including cultured, natural and wild.

Saccharomyces is preferred because of its efficiency in converting sugar to alcohol and because it is less sensitive to the inhibiting effect of alcohol. Under favourable conditions, strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have produced up to 18 percent ...
