Recently I went to the Catskills and stopped by a cidery on the side of the road in which they take freshly squeezed apple juice and ferment it with white wine yeast to make it alcoholic- is the white wine a problem of stam yeinam and davar hamamid?
The white wine is a problem of Stam Yeinam. (At least a Safek. Depending on the exact product used, maybe it has a Mevushal status)
I’m not sure if it has a problem maamid because the fresh apples can ferment naturally without the wine. So it may be זה וזה גורם.
Maybe we’ll get back to this…
Your title mentions “white wine vinegar” and in the question you mention “white wine yeast”.
Vinegar is a problem. The yeast may not be a problem. Needs more research.
