Default Fermented Fuit Juice -- How to turn it into alcohol?

I do believe som producers try to "recycle" the yeast by spreading lees in
the vineyard ... not a terribly good idea as it may enhance bacteria rather
than the "natural" yeasts. What about bajanus in Veneto, then, do you mean
that the reservoir is in the cellars rather than in the vineyards? It would
fit neatly with what I heard about a cheese factory - to get the cheese to
mature as they wanted, the old cheese cellar master had to pass through the
cellars, wearing, and this was important, his old cap ... which apparently
was supposed to contain the ferments needed for the proper maturation of the
cheeses. If it is not true, it is still a fairly good story.

Cheers
