Can one bless Hatov Ve'Hametiv on wine that is not made of grapes (like pomegranates, figs etc) like he would on a grape wine?

My understanding is hatov vehameitiv is an upgrade from saying borei pri hagafen. If you would say borei pri hagafen on these then yes, if not, no.

@robev I agree. But sources would be helpful.

@robev "hatov vehameitiv" is no an upgrade from saying "bore pri hagafen" since it does not replace it, it's an upgrade of "Shechianu" [which is no special for grapes].

@Alaychem you are correct in a non-wine drinking context. If a person is drinking a new glass of wine that requires a borei pri hagafen, and they fulfill all the requirements, they would make instead hatov vehameitiv*. That's why I see it as an upgrade.
