You can, but there isn't a lot of sugar in tomatoes.  You can add
sugar (you should use dextrose), or you can use a primary fermenter to
turn some of the complex sugars into something that the yeast can work
on.  Sake koji might work, but I'm not sure.  There are a lot of
others.

There's a sugar recipe here:

amusingly vile.  I wonder how their 2001 vintage is going?

Aside from tomato wine, Tina, you guys are stars.  Your patience and
drive with this are outstanding.
