Recent progress in molecular biology has led tothe development of several techniques for yeast identification, based on similarity or dissimilarityof DNA, RNA or proteins. In view of the latest yeast taxonomy, there are no more races. However,molecular techniques are not enough to understand the real veil-forming yeast diversity and dynamicsin Sherry wines. We propose a reliable method, using a microtiter reader, to evaluate the fermentationand assimilation of carbon and nitrogen sources, the osmotolerance and the antibiotic resistance,using 18 S. cerevisiae and 5 non-Saccharomyces yeast strains, to allow correct identification andclassification of the yeast strains present in the velum of flor complex.
