Actually, I've heard must used to describe any fermented 
beverage before
it's fermented.  In making mead and beer we also taked about 
adding
ingredients to "the must."  Of course, in the context it could 
be a specific
vintning term being mis-applied as well since I have mostly 
brewed with
people who, while successfull, haven't been formally trained to 
brew.

Actually, as yeast was not --specifically-- an ingredient in
medieval brewing and baking, the beer or wine was prepared, and
then set out uncovered so that it would collect the correct
yeast beasties.  I have heard "must" referred to as the foam on
top of fermenting beverages, therefore, containing yeast.  Good
stuff to have if you are making bread.
