Cranberry wine

[Thomas]

It's a matter of language...the ancient word for wine referred specifically to "the juice of fermented grapes" and that is what it is. Put simply, no other fruit comes in ripe with the proper level of natural sugar and natural yeast to ferment on its own to 12 % alcohol, without human intervention or added anything--that is pretty darned specific.

I'd opt for calling other fermented fruits "Fermented (insert fruit name) Juice." Or we have to come up with an ancient word for it...
