I think grapes must be pretty easy to root.  Last year I  trimmed my
young vine in the late winter, and put a few lengths of the twigs into a
glass of water in the kitchen window.  I just wanted to force the buds,
to get a little greenery.  It worked, but the leaves lasted so long that
I looked into the glass, and was surprised to see the twigs had all
rooted.  This was canadice.
