Pasteurization does prevent bacteria growth. "But it was never assumed to be a long-term measure." "So I definately wouldn't open that milk carton." "Wine gets better if you stash it a while. Why not chocolate milk?"

Grapes’ sugar is fructose, which ferments to ethyl alcohol. Milk’s sugar is lactose, which ferments to lactic acid. The two substances behave differently as preservatives. (It’s fun to be smarter than a Frazz comic

Wine in a container that isn’t airtight gets festy pretty quickly too.

Zeditor: Grape sugar is about 50/50 fructose/sucrose, as are most fruits. Lactose does oxidize to lactic acid, but not by fermentation, which requires yeast. It’s fun to have a degree in chemistry.)

I meant to write 50/50 fructose/glucose. One of the dangers of being an “expert”.

Un-Pasturized milk, however- doesn’t ever go bad, it only sours and can be used as sour cream, yogurt, etc.
