Yeast is our friend.

True, but grape juice is naturally laden with yeast. It will ferment naturally.

That's exactly what the Welch's dude figured out how to avoid. If you let your grape juice sit out a too long it will get bacterial, not yeast, growth in it. Wine only results if the yeast is still present on the grapes at the time of mashing.
