I can't imagine making wine from it.  The one I tried had no acidity at
all, and wasn't "juicy".  There's a tough outer skin, and inside are
some large seeds surrounded by custardlike pulp.  If it had been less
mealy, I would have compared the consistency to overripe banana.

You might be able to mush it around with some oatmeal and dry it for a
trail-mix sort of snack.  It would be a lot of work to process, though.
