→Spontaneous fermentation in other traditional drinks and foods
Other spontaneous fermentations exist as well, such as Chicha, a corn-based lightly alcoholic drink indigenous to the Andes. Much like the spontaneous fermentation of Lambic, Chicha posesses its own set of yeasts, dominated by strains of Saccharomyces responsible for its unique characteristics.<ref name=Vallejoa >J. A.

Brettanomyces and other wild organisms, despite often being spoilage organisms in wine, are responsible for some major sensory characteristics of some wine styles.<ref name=Tristezza> M.
