Wine is made by anaerobic fermentation. It is carried out by yeast.
Anaerobic means to require an absence of free oxygen. In home-wine making, for instance, the anaerobic stage is when a fermenting wine is enclosed in a container with only a fermentation trap to allow the carbon dioxide to escape, but which also keeps out oxygen.
Fermentation is sometimes known as anaerobic respiration - because it usually occurs in the absence of oxygen. However, fermentation is the extraction of energy by oxidation of organic compounds. It does not necessarily have to occur in anaerobic conditions.

When yeast cells ferment it builds up gases. That is the reason why champagne might explode from the bottle just after opening. It is also why there is a distinct popping noise when wine is opened.
The economic importance of alcoholic fermentation is the production of bread and alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic fermentation is the driving force of the beer industry and the baked good industries.
Fermentation refers to catabolic processes where organic molecules, such as sugars or amino acids, are broken down to produce energy without the use of a membrane-bound electron transport chain. Depending upon the organism, fermentation can occur in the presence (aerobic) and/or in the absence (anaerobic) of oxygen. Fermentation pathways produce byproducts such as carbon dioxide, ethanol (alcohol), or organic acids (lactic acid or acetic acid, for example). Yeast cells can ferment sugar and in the process produce carbon dioxide and alcohol. Lactobacillusbacteria can ferment the sugar lactose and produce lactic acid; this is how yogurt is made. Wine vinegar is produced by bacteria that ferment the sugars in grape juice and produce acetic acid. Fermentation is sometimes called anaerobic respiration, but microbiologists disagree with this usage. The term respiration refers to energy-yielding metabolic processes that involve a membrane-bound electron transport chain.
Fermentation is a part of the processes called viticulture, which includes everything from growing the grape to the time that the wine is bottled.Vinification
When yeast undergoes anaerobic respiration, it gives off Carbon dioxide (CO2) and Ethanol. The Ethanol is used in alcohol production, bread making, gasohol etc.

it is used to trap the CO2 from the fermentation process and prevent outside air from getting in. Fermentation is an anaerobic process with ethanol and CO2 as its by products.
Alcohol is produced by a specific type of respiration which is called alcohol fermentation, a form of anaerobic respiration. Fermentation is caused by the lack of oxygen (anaerobic) in the environment and an important by-product is ethanol (alcohol found in wine and beer).
Fermentation is as a result of anaerobic respiration by yeast. the products are alcohol (ethanol ), carbon dioxide and a little energy. C6H12O6 -> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + little energy
The main types of fermentation are alcoholic fermentation, where sugars are converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide; lactic acid fermentation, where sugars are converted into lactic acid; and acetic acid fermentation, where sugars are converted into acetic acid. Each type of fermentation is carried out by specific groups of microorganisms under various conditions.
The process of fermentationin wineturns grape juice into an alcoholic beverage. During fermentation, yeast interact with sugars in the juice to create ethanol, commonly known as ethyl alcohol, and carbon dioxide (as a by-product). In winemaking, the temperature and speed of fermentation are important considerations as well as the levels of oxygen present in themust at the start of the fermentation. The risk of stuck fermentation and the development of several wine faults can also occur during this stage, which can last anywhere from 5 to 14 days for primary fermentation and potentially another 5 to 10 days for a secondary fermentation. Fermentation may be done in stainless steel tanks, which is common with many white wines like Riesling, in an open wooden vat, inside a wine barrel and inside the wine bottleitself as in the production of many sparkling wines.[1][2]
White wine is white in color because it is made from green or yellow grapes with the skins removed before fermentation. The color of the grape skins does not affect the color of the wine, unlike red wine which is made with the skins left on during fermentation.
It was probably discovered when either wine or bread was first made.
