Hi Red Star, one brand of yeast, comes in packets and jars. I didn't know Red Star also made yeast specific to wine making; I just learned something.
I keep my yeast in the freezer with no problem. It will last a very long time if kept very cold. If you aren't sure of the potency of the yeast, proof it by adding it to 1/4 cup of warm water with 1/4 teaspoon of sugar. Let this stand for about 10 minutes. It should be very foamy. If it is, then you know the yeast is working. Hope this helps.
