Fermentation is basically when yeast grows on the SKIN of grapes. When the skin is broken down, the yeast feeds on the glucose ( which is in the Grape Juice ) which turns it into ethanol ( alcohol ) BUT and the SAME time it makes carbon dioxide. This is used in wine making, so it doesn't do anything to the grape juice, but it helps make it after the ethanol is taken out and the rest is purified.

What happens if you leave grape juice out and it turns into wine?

When grape juice is left out and exposed to yeast, fermentation occurs, turning the juice into wine. Fermentation is a natural process where yeast consumes the sugars in the juice and produces alcohol as a byproduct.


Can grape juice ferment on its own?

Yes, grape juice can ferment on its own due to the natural presence of yeast in the environment. Fermentation occurs when yeast consumes the sugars in the grape juice and produces alcohol as a byproduct.

What observations did pasteur makeconcerning the fermentation of grape juice?

Louis Pasteur observed that fermentation in grape juice was primarily caused by yeast, which he identified as living microorganisms. He noted that yeast converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide, a process he described as anaerobic fermentation. Pasteur also discovered that different types of fermentation could occur depending on the presence of bacteria, leading to undesirable outcomes like sourness. His work laid the foundation for the understanding of microbial fermentation and the importance of controlling fermentation processes in winemaking.


When does fermentation come into play when making wine?

It turns the sugar in the grape juice in to alcohol. Its one of the first steps in making wine.
