He goes on to praise the California winemakers for embracing the process fully. In the letter, Pasteur writes, "until May 1, 1865, there did not exist, either in France or abroad, a single liter of wine preserved by my process." This seems to establish May 1, 1865 as the date in which pasteurization was first employed by the wine industry.
