"mead, isn't that made with honey"... yes. No berries or other fruit, traditionally.

You can mix any crushed and strained fruit with water and ferment it. There are various names (wine, sherry, port, licquer) depending on how long it is fermented, any additional ingredients and the final alcohol content. I'm no expert but this is what I've heard.

A mead that contains fruit (such as strawberry, blackcurrant or even rose hips) is called melomel and was also used as a means of food preservation, keeping summer produce for the winter.
