I've been looking through the forums for quite awhile and I've yet to come across a mod that allows you to make Sweet Gem Berries into wine or jelly. Is there a way for any of you kind mod makers to make something like this? Or if you know of a mod, could you let me know? Thanks!
That would require adding new items (and worse, adding functionality to kegs and jars) and that is an enormous pain. Each jelly, wine, juice, etc is their own item ID.
This is wrong, any item that has the same icon has the same ID, it just has different internal properties.

It's actually as simple as editing the Content\Data\ObjectInformation.xnb file. Change the edibility from -300 to something else (e.g., Strawberries are 20, Blueberries are 10) and change the category from Basic -17 to Basic -79. Here's a copy where I changed the edibility to 20 (like Strawberries): I haven't tested any side-effects extensively, but I have used them to make wine and jelly with this file.
