Absent reliable info to the contrary, assume yes. Ethanol is the alcohol in wine, but it can be made from just about anything containing starch or sugar, as well as derived from petroleum. Vodka can be made from potatoes, corn or wheat, for example. If you're talking about a cosmetic or perfume, assume it's grain alcohol and therefore chometz unless there's documentation that it isn't.

Ethyl alcohol can be derived through natural fermentation of grain, or from petroleum, or the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose. Ethyl alcohol has a wide variety of applications, from beverages to pharmaceuticals to cosmetics. Ethyl alcohol requires kosher certification, especially in kosher for Passover products.
