Did you know yeast can be a tool to produce sparkling wine?

Researchers have developed a new method for producing sparkling wines by encapsulating yeast in small beads, eliminating the need for traditional secondary fermentation in the bottle. Secondary fermentation in the bottle involves adding yeast to the bottle after alcoholic fermentation has already taken place. The yeast breaks down sugars, allowing […]
