It makes alcohol right? Does it make wine?

The process where sugar is converted to alcohol for any spirit starts with a fermentation stage... and in order to have a fermentation stage you must have yeast. The yeast eats the sugar and produces alcohol. There are many many different types of yeast and many different ways that it is added to the slough when you are fermenting. Then once you have a fermented product you can distill it to increase the alcohol and reduce the impurities.

Yes.
Keep in mind that there are specific yeasts for making the various kinds of wines. Baking yeast will make an alcoholic brew, but it will not produce the same results as wine yeast would.

The yeast is a natural bi product of the fermentation that occurs when making wine, its not usually added to the grapes. Alcohol is made when the grapes start to ferment and the sugar begins converting into alcohol. When you start fermentation you could say the sugar is on scale 10 and the alcohol 0. As time goes by the sugar decreases and the alcohol increases.

Dances and Chefbill are giving out some pretty erroneous info.
Although there are some wines that are allowed to go "natural" the unpredictability of the final product means that nearly all of commercially produced wines are inoculated with particular strain of yeast that will yield known characteristics in the finished wine.
Also, the whitish bloom on the outside of grapes is not a dusting of wild yeast spores. While there are undoubtedly spores there, they are microscopic and the white coating you see is the natural wax produced by the plant the prevents dehydration of the berries.

Yes yeast is used to make wine. On the reaction of yeast with glucose, wine is formed which is then after fermented by the yeast.

Wine is not made with brewer's yeast as beer is; the organism that makes grape juice ferment is the yeast/fungus that is on the grape itself. Ever buy grapes and see a slight white "dust" on them (especially red grapes)? That's the organism that does the job. Different strains of the organism are thought to give various wines part of their distinctive tastes. Some wines are produced by innoculating grapes with a known strain of yeast to produce a particular variety.

this is the weirdest question ever... do you really want to take s.hit from your vagina and put it in something you drink? that's the nastiest thing i've ever heard. a yeast infection doesn't have anything in it that's even related to the yeast to make wine or beer or bread.. weird..
