Yes, provided there is enough live yeast left over.
Prepare a yeast starter with your lees by mixing a half cup of corn syrup (be absolutely sure there's no sodium benzoate in the corn syrup) in 3 cups of boiling water. When the water cools to room temperature, shake like mad for about 5 minutes to aerate the mix then add the lees of your wine. Let this sit at room temperature overnight.
If there's any viable yeast from your lees, they'll reproduce in the presence of oxygen and the corn syrup. This makes for less work when you pitch them into your mead must.

on an identical time as the ale yeast will truthfully ferment the sugars interior the could desire to easily advantageous, the favors and aroma could no longer be what's needed interior the wine. there's a great selection of yeast to apply, if the single you have demands a narrow temp selection, try yet another wine yeast. brewer's belt are bought which could in good shape around a fermentor and save the temp greater for wine yeasts.

Only if the lees contain still active yeast cells otherwise it won't work and it is always best to use a fresh yeast packet to make sure anyway.

Nope. The yeast has to be live and active for it to work.
