Best Answer

The purpose of pasteurizing wine is to:

  • stop fermentation
  • prevent fermentation from re-starting
  • helps clear wine faster

Pasteurizing can make a sweet wine or dry wine at any stage, without waiting months for fermentation to completely use up all the available sugar.

Once pasteurized, the dead yeast will quickly settle to the bottom and then the wine can be racked off in several days.
