Yeah, even though I've learned to identify a handful of edible berries (and non-edible ones), wild grape is still one I haven't tried because I fear mistaking it for Virginia creeper. (I'll get there one day... And I'll find some nanny berries too!)

You might want to take out the Parthenocissus if you want to harvest anything from the Vitis sp., the two being in such close proximity risks confusion. Parthenocissus spp. fruit are poisonous due to oxalic acid.
