I think this might interest you all.
I have written two new articles on my weblog which were written after I made tests.
The first one describes that chillibg a wine, actually I froze it, does NOT kill any yeast cells that might be in the wine.
So freezing a wine (or chilling) to stop fermentation is definitely NOT a good idea:

The second article describes that there is only one, yes really one, yeast cell needed to start or restart a fermentation.

Thought it might interest you.
