Part of the issue may be one must add extra sugars to obtain enough alcohol to qualify as wine [http://www.blueberry.org/faq.htm Make Blueberry Wine Section], [http://www.squidoo.com/blueberry-wine-recipe Blueberry Wine Recipe]. This is because blueberries have less sugar than grapes[http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/whattoeat/a/whatfruit.htm].

However, sometimes you also add sugar to grape wine to achieve the proper alcohol levels (but  often times no extra sugar is needed) [http://www.winemakermag.com/new/fresh].
-The difficulty to make blueberry wine may have to do with the pH of a blueberry. Blueberries are an extremely basic fruit.  In order to make good tasting wine, it is best to start with an acidic juice. This acidity keeps the final product from tasting flat and gives the wine character. It also makes for more favorable conditions for fermentation by the yeast. Ideal pH levels for wine are about 3.8 to 3.4 [http://www.eckraus.com/wine-making-acidity.html], so in order to make wine from blueberries, one must add acidity to the "fruit juice". It is also interesting to note that the color of the blueberry correlates with the pH of the fruit. Blueberries contain anthocyanins which change color from purple, blue, or red according to the pH (red ph < 3, violet at pH 7-8, blue at pH > 11), so blueberries are a very basic fruit [http://www.eckraus.com/wine-making-acidity.html]. This compound is also found in blackberries, black currant, eggplants, cranberries, raspberries, and strawberries, and contributes to the coloring of these fruits [http://www.healthaim.com/tackle-high-blood-pressure-with-blueberries/]. There is some evidence that this compound may improve blood flow by strengthening capillaries and maintaining cell wall flexibility. Additionally, this compound may act as an antioxidant and my interact with free radicals (which has been linked to aging) [http://www.gentcare.com/EnProductShow.asp?ID=52].
