This tends to create some fears for brewers who believe that the ''Sacch'' strains in their beer might still be alive. However, in a highly acidic sour beer, ''Saccharomyces'' tends not to live for extended periods of time. Even if some cells do, their activity would be next to none due to no available sugars left in the beer (other than priming sugar), and thus their contribution to the flavor development of the beer would be minimal to none. Fear of autolysis occurring due to killer strain activity is usually unfounded because most of the ''Sacch'' cells are left behind and the ability of ''Brettanomyces'' to use the acids and proteins that are released during whatever autolysis might occur in the bottle. Re-yeasting with wine yeast for priming has the additional advantage of not fermenting maltose or maltotriose, so unexpected attenuation from the wine yeast will not occur. Flavor impact by the wine yeast is also probably nil due to the small amount of fermentables provided by the priming sugar. Thus, there is little argument against re-yeasting with wine yeast at packaging time.
