Poor advice about "stopping" fermentation.
Most brewing yeasts are capable of about the 12% ABV level, most wine type yeasts will do more.

there's a number of recipes for making wine from jam, so I'd presume that would be similar.
The trick, as I understand it, is to use enough of the "jam" to be watered down so that you get a good fr ... |

Any wine yeast could be used, though the one that com ... |

Bread yeast can indeed be used, but it would depend on the recipe and method.
The problem with bread yeast is that it doesn't flocculate very well i.e. settle down and pack tightly at the bottom of ... |
