For most Ale yeast yes, but not necessarily. I have a heffeweizen bubbling away right now. I'm keeping it upstairs where it's warmer(72ish) because that's what the yeast profile calls for, and the warmer temperature profile seems to produce more banana + clove which this style is known for.

I am not a wine maker, only a beer brewer, but I would look up the yeast characteristics and see the recommended fermentation temperature.
^ I would do this.
