It is estimated that about three quarters of the wine produced is made with the aid of selected yeast starters, and the methods of use are briefly described. The flor yeasts are used widely and it is estimated that about 9 per cent of the fortified beverage wine produced is put on flor.Australian researches on wine and flor yeasts and their application to winemaking have been reviewed.
