Yeast is the anaerobic animal that ferments the sugar in fruit juices into alcohol. After an aerobic animal consumes it, it is further metabolized into carbon dioxide and water in what is called the Kreb's cycle.

Yeast, a type of organism also known in bread and beer, consumes the sugars in the wine. As oxygen concentrations are low in the wine, the yeast are unable to use aerobic respiration to break down the sugars (producing CO2 and H2O) for energy so instead they ferment. The process of fermenting breaks down the sugars to obtain energy, producing ethanol (the alcohol) in wine.
