What kind of yeast is best for making red wine ?
depends…what kind of red?
Personally I like to use lalvin ec-1118.
It’s a champagne yeast. it’s got a pretty good tolerance to alcohol so your gonna have some pretty strong or dry wine.
it’s also pretty quick to ferment and settles out nice with low fusel alcohols/oils.

I’ve always had good luck using the dry Red Star Wine yeasts. Their Montrachet or Pasteur Red would be a good bet.
Lalvin brand dry yeasts also tend to work well. Their Bourgovin would be good for making a red wine.
Wyeast makes a wet wine yeast you can use. I’ve never used it because it costs more and dry yeast is so worry free and easy.

I use mostly Montrachet but champagne yeast runs a close second.
