Sometimes. Dextrose can also taken from grape juice. Dextrose is often used synonymously with glucose.

Dextrose is simply refined glucose. It's found in high concentrations in corn syrup, grapes, berries, oranges, carrots, sweet corn and honey. For commercial uses, it is produced by a process that involves hydrolysis of starch (usually cornstarch or potato starch) with an acid.
