OK, I'll have to admit we made a less-than-successful attempt at Lime wine last fall. Friend has a lime orchard, and gave us the limes. Got supplies from online and the beer/wine making store in Hilo. It never started fermenting properly, probably because the PH was way off. What came out at the end could perhaps be called "drinkable", if you're very tolerant or very thirsty. We had found a recipe online for citrus wine and followed that.
We used to make all kinds of berry wine back when we lived in the Northwest, of which the best were blackberry, raspberry and strawberry. All were fermented out to be very dry, and excellent!
I have heard that jaboticaba makes good wine, and know that Volcano Winery uses guava, so maybe going that route would work better than the limes!
