Hi, I am new to this and was wondering if I could collect yeast from a bottle of wine that i bought from a grocery store. I added some of the wine into a glass with some sugar and oats for nutrients. Will this work? I know some wineries pasteurizer there pasteurized and kill the yeast but it didn't say anywhere on the bottle that it was pasteurized.
Collecting yeast from bottled wine?

I've never seen yeast sediment in a commercial wine bottle. I would think that most (if not all) wineries filter their wine.
I've seen a few "wine diamonds" in good commercial wines, but that's excess tartaric acid that has precipitated out.
So, in short, no, I doubt you'd be sucessful. Of course, wine yeast is $.59 cents/pack so it's not expensive to purchase some.
