I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

I think it sounds ike a gimmick. I buy Red Star instant yeast in 2lb bags:
http://www.spiceplace.com/red_star_yeast.php I think they're less than $6.58
at Costco. Frozen it lasts forever. It let's you easily meter your yeast
usage bit by bit when you're trying to accomplish a certain rising event.
3/4 tsp for the preferment, etc. I'd have a hard time going back to those
2.5tsp expensive bags.

Looks like instant yeast plus dough enhancers. Guess I'm not lazy
enough nor pressed for time to give up a long, slow rise using active
dry yeast.

All-New Fleischmann's Pizza Crust Yeast!

The best new reason to shop the baking aisle is here! Fleischmanns
Pizza Crust Yeast is the first and only yeast specially designed to
make it quick and easy to prepare traditional pizza crusts. No rise time

To make homemade pizza dough, simply add water, salt and flour to
Fleischmanns Pizza Crust Yeast, mix and knead. There is no rise after
kneading like other yeasts. You just need to roll or press out the
dough to make the pizza crust. Just relax

Pizza Crust Yeast is specially-formulated with dough relaxers that keep
the dough from pulling or snapping back when shaping it. So its easy
to make your crust the shape and size you like. Individual sized
crusts, thick crusts, thin crusts or hand tossed crusts, its up to
you! Top it off

Now that your homemade pizza dough has been shaped into crust, add your
favorite fresh ingredients and bake. Your pizzeria-style pizza will be
ready in 30 minutes. Simple, satisfying and so good!

Looks like ordinary yeast, with dough relaxers added (glutenase
enzymes?)

Me either. It is way too easy to plan ahead and get a much better
quality result with a slow rise in the fridge.

The package weighs three times as much as regular yeast. So I guess
yeast is not the main ingredient.
