Hmm....you can make wine from shrivelled up grapes just like currants, in Germany.
Making wine is all about adding the proper yeast to sugar; it's not about grapes. So really, you can make wine out of about anything. I'm making some right now out of Lemon Balm, which is a type of mint that is often used in lasndcaping, or as a tea. So my wine isn't even using a fruit.
People select specific grapes for their flavor, and because these traditional grapes also tend to harbor the specific varities of yeast that are vital to creating the alcohol.
If you take a specific fruit, say apples, and brew one batch and seperate it, and use a different yeast for heach half, the flavors will be different, as the different yeasts yield different flavor results.
And yup, raisins are often used for wine making. They cost more, they add fullness, and it's a bit more work to remove the sediment that they produce. I agree with the second contributor: Grape Nuts are the only grapes that you can't use in wine making.
