Pastur's experiment was to test the theory of spontanious generation (that living things can come from nonliving things) by putting boiling broth in some flasks and leaving some open and some sealed. The conclusion he drew from this is that livng things can only "appear" on the broth if they are let in. They do not come from the broth

His discovery of microorganisms present in wine and beer that turned them sour. He educated the industry that heating the wine stopped the bad bacteria from growing and stopped it from going sour.

An extract from: http://www.zephyrus.co.uk/louispasteur.html

Pasteur made brewing a more scientific procedure and showed brewers how to culture the right organisms for good beer. He also demonstrated to the wine industry that if wine is gently heated to sixty degrees Celsius for a short time, the growth of harmful bacteria is prevented and the wine does not go sour in bottles or barrels.

Pasteur then extended this to other problems such as the souring of milk. He proposed heating the milk to a high temperature and pressure before bottling. The process is now in widespread use and is called pasteurisation.
