Definitely can happen, especially if your fermentation area is quite warm. My first wine ever fermented very vigorously and was dry after just four days. Starting gravity was 1.095 on that one.
Edit: I try to ferment slower and cooler now. I've read that fast ferments can produce more fusel alcohols and other undesirable flavors.
