They didn't. Yeast spores exist in the environment and can be found on the skin of grapes. Once the grapes are squeezed fermentation starts by itself. The problem is yeasts vary in their ability to produce alcohol and there are a range of spoilage organisms that that will also be in the race to get established. This is why most winemakers add the yeast they want in sufficient quantities to eliminate the competition. Most wine yeasts in use now were isolated from nature but have been cultured.
