Yeast is used to produce the alcohol in beer and wine. Yeast is a fungus that feeds on sugars to create energy for itself. When the yeast is deprived of oxygen, as it is in the production of beer and wine, it uses a process called anaerobic respiration to create its energy. The byproducts of anaerobic respiration are ethanol (alcohol) and CO2. This production of alcohol via yeast is called fermentation. Yeast is used in the production of virtually all Alcoholic Beverages.
