Brief historical review
The collection began in 1994, and gradually, with consecutive doctoral theses and end-of-degree studies, it has grown with bacterial isolates (lactic and acetic bacteria) from grapes, grape must, wine and vinegar, and yeast samples, especially altering of wines, of the Brettanomyces type.
