Yeast strains have been developed based on the amount of sugar in whatever you're looking to ferment. This is why you have different yeast strains for each grape. It also helps create the character of the wine so personally I'd stick to wine yeast and wouldn't use bread yeast. You could certainly try a small batch of wine using your bread yeast and see what you come up with. Up to you. :) Best of luck! Scott Hi James,
