Yeast question if I may

[James0816]

Getting ready to make up a new batch of wine. Checked my yeast supply and turns out all I have left is D47. I'll be hitting the LHBS tomorrow to restock the 1118.

Curious, when recipes call for "wine yeast" but don't specifically call for a type, how does one know which to use?

I usually use D47 for mead.

This is an area where I need to expand my knowledge on.

Thanks

Different yeasts for different wines. Each has its applications. Here's a handy comparison chart:
