I don't know anyone who attempts that. Yeast is cheap. Go buy more.

When ferment is complete your yeast has already died (it was killed by the
alcohol they made out of sugar), so you cannot use it again.

You are mistaken, I've made several wines by adding the must directly to the
slurry from a previous batch. The only problem is that the yeast seems to
mutate after a few batches.

I have used the yeast sediment from one batch to start another one if the
timing was right. I have just racked the wine off the yeast and then add
the sediment directly to the new batch. But I would not fool with trying to
save any of this and I have only done it a few times.

The one good reason for reusing yeast slurry is to restart a stuck
fermentation in another batch - lots of active yeast cells that are
already used to high alcohol levels.

I've tried that with two generations of melomel, it happened to be my last
working packet of 71B, it worked out just fine...

I have also had good luck reusing yeast. I simply poured the slurry in
a clean mason jar.I made 3 g marigold wine. Before too long I had
harvested enough flowers to begin another 3 gal batch. Used the left
over slurry to begin the new batch.

I have also had a difficult to ferment port.
When I racked my strawberry wine, I added some of the remaining sludge
to the port and it really took off.
