The reason for that is that only grapes contain everything necessary to make
table wine. All other fruits require addition of sugar, water and acid in
some combination prior to fermentation. IOW, there isn't any "recipe" for
making wine from grapes.

It is true that grape winemakers often "adjust" grape juice to achieve a
better balance among those three elements, but it is usually relatively
slight. Many wines are made with no adjustment at all because the fruit
came in from the field with perfect numbers.
