    ​Most beer is fermented by yeast of the genus Saccharomyces, mostly of the species cerevisiae. There are thousands of strains of saccharomyces cerevisiae, many of them unique to specific breweries.

    by Kevin Keith

    Sicily is an ancient place. Wine has been a part of the Sicilian culture for over 3,000 years. The Greeks brought over their winemaking technology around the 8th Century B.C. Romans traded Sicilian wine as a sign of their status and wealth.
