Grape Juice ferments due to the presence of naturally occurring yeast, primarily Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which converts sugars in the juice into alcohol and carbon dioxide through the process of fermentation. When grapes are crushed, the yeast on the skin and in the environment comes into contact with the juice, initiating fermentation. This process is facilitated by the absence of oxygen, allowing anaerobic fermentation to occur. As fermentation progresses, the flavor, aroma, and alcohol content of the juice change, ultimately transforming it into wine.
