This is more for info....
I crush between 200 - 300 kg of grapes a year, and typically use 80gm.
To be cost effective I need to buy in a packet of 500gm.
My first batch was in 2018 - when I bought 500g. Used it again in 2019, then discarded it to be safe - Wasted 340gm.
So I bought a new packet of 500gm he yeast in 2020, used in 2020 and 2021. Decided not to make any wine in 2022, and used it again this year.
With all the appropriate protection, nutrients, etc,, goes like nuts. Of course I tested it first.
I am pretty amazed that it has lasted this long. May test it next year again One never knows
