No Spices can indeed be infused with wine in the process. Generally this is done after the fermentation. Some wine snobs would frown on this practice, but I have had excellent results with spices.
Ketchup available for purchase in the United States is not a fermented product, and none of my 19th century cookbooks provide a recipe. Ketchup is made by cooking fruits and/or vegetables with vinegar and spices. The resulting sauce is then puréed to be smooth rather than chunky. I have seen recipes for peach, banana, beet, tomatillo, and blueberry-chipotle ketchups as well as the American standard tomato. However, history suggests that even our poor excuse for a sauce is the descendant of other fermented products, such as soy sauce. The most prominent process to make fermented ketchup that I have found is to use a starter culture, either milk based (yogurt whey, water kefir) or vegetable based (sauerkraut brine). This is added to the already cooked and puréed vegetation, so basically, fermented ketchup is regular ketchup with a starter culture added. The cultured product is allowed to sit anywhere from 8 hours to 5 days before refrigerating. You can search "fermented ketchup" on Google to find recipes.
