It should be. However, it is the juice from those grapes, and the sugar
content that reacts with the yeast, so just placing a bunch of grapes in a
container, and waiting, won't quite do it. If you have enough grapes, the
weight will extract some juice, and that will ferment. However, most grapes
are crushed to some degree to free the juice, which is then separated, as some
point, from the vegetable matter, and many, many decisions are made, regarding
the fermentation process.
