Don't know of any modern-day production, but fermented pomegranate is as old a drink as fermented grape. On that score, I do not recommend the word "wine" to describe other fermented drinks. The reason: "wine" is derived from the Phoenician word that specifically referred to the juice of fermented grapes.

It is like caviar: a word that comes from Turkish to refer specifically to sturgeon roe and no other.
