Two come to mind right away. They are acetic bacteria and wild yeasts. Acetic bacteria, which is ever present in the air, converts alcohol into acetic acid, which in turn turns your wine into vinegar.
Wine Making Process
The wine process is basically the same for the large wineries as it is for the wine maker working at home on a smaller scale.
The wine is produced from fruits and berries, and/or grapes. They crushing and fermenting them. After the fermenting process the the sugar from the fruits turns into alcohol. The fruit that was used to make the wine will determine the color, taste, and aroma.
