Yup, red wine may be the best known source of resveratrol gratis the media,
but there are other sources as well.

The company I get my vites from also markets resveratrol sourced from an
herb.  Their site says:

*Resveratrol is a compound often associated with the health benefits of red
wine, because of its powerful antioxidant and cardioprotectant properties.
It promotes cardiovascular health through its antioxidant action and its
ability to modulate platelet aggregation and arachidonic acid metabolism.
Pure Encapsulations Resveratrol is derived from one of the richest known
sources, Polygonum cuspidatum, an herb utilized as a nutritional agent for
centuries.

Resveratrol is standardized to contain 20% total resveratrols and 10%
emodin, providing high-potency cardiovascular and antioxidant support.
