Yeast nutrients are added to beer or wine to ensure that the building blocks required by the yeast to form new cells and reproduce are available to them before and during fermentation. Yeast nutrients provide nitrogen, phosphates, and minerals like zinc, which are important for yeast to form alcohol. They also help to neutralize the effects of oxygen, which can be damaging to yeast cells. Adding yeast nutrient to wine promotes healthy yeast growth and fermentation, reduces the risk of off flavors and aromas, shortens fermentation time, and improves wine clarity.
