Yes made from grapes but often not to the standard of other wines. Good for the heart in moderate amounts only.

some are grain alcohol (everclear) with colour and flavourings added. Fortified wines are like this sometimes

Yes they are 100% grapes.

Are they good for the heart? I moderation, a glass a day probably is.

Why are cheap wines cheap? Because they are made from grapes that surplus or not popular varieties and thus cheap, or they are surplus wines from big wineries that can't sell it at their high prices.

The original '2 Buck Chuck' was surplus wine....
