wine does not use yeast, yeast is for beer. Wine relies on the sugars to ferment and add character to the final product

For mernsy, wine does use yeast, that's what converts the sugars in the grape juice to alcohol and carbon dioxide gas (fermentation).
I know that traditional lambic beers do not add yeast but rather wait for natural yeasts to "contaminate" the wort so I suppose you could do the same thing with wine but if you want wine and not just old grape juice you'll need yeast, either added or spontaneously occurring, the yeast still needs to be there.

Mernsy, please shut up as you don't have a clue.
Wine is fermentated fruit juice. Most fruit have wild yeasts in them which will ferment them given time. The problem is that these wild yeasts don't always produce good wine.
You're best best is to knock the yeast down with some campden tablet and add some wine yeast a day later.
