First, the meager scriptural description and the broad meaning of "wine" leaves open a few possibilities. As a home brewer, I can say that all you need to make something to fit the OT definition of wine is water, yeast, and sugar source. So, no, not impossible...unlikely maybe
I think that the Gospels are better understood along the lines of heroic literature, akin to the works of Homer, which involved the mishmash of various stories that were in circulation about Jesus.
