I'm assuming here that you do not mean the living plant that grapes grow on, since you are in the language category; in which case "Grapevine" refers to, usually means, a network of gossip, word-of-mouth discussion about a particluar subject. Prime example is the title and words of the American song, "I heard it through the Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye, originally, and later by other fine musical artists. Another example: I heard it through the grapevine that there's going to be a pop quiz in class today. Derivation: "Powderpuff (women's makeup tool) Grapevine" Refers to a network, usually gossip consisting of females exclusively: Powderpuff Grapevine. This could be considered misogynistic, however, so be cautious when using this or any other form of gossip.
