Is the same type of yeast used for everything?

Yeast is a general name for a family of bacteria. They are part of the fungi family, and there are currently about 1500 strains known.Bread making commonly uses the Saccharomyces cerevisiaestrain, while in the making of wine different starins actually effect the taste of the wine.This is because alcohol, a by-product of yeast feeding on sugars kills yeast, so a yeast that can tolerate higher levels of alcohol will use more of the sugars, giving a 'dryer' taste. While strains of yeast that are less tollerent to alcohol will use less of the sugars, making for a sweeter wine.
