Grape vines

People always asking about different woods to use, or question about, but I've never seen mention of grape vine trimmings.
I know it works, but it's been so long since I used it (once) I can't remember anything about it.

Anyone use it? I assume a relatively mild smoke? Lots of vineyards here now, but I wonder what they spray on them?
 
The problem is; most vineyards sell their trimmings for Christmas Wreaths. If you really want great smoking wood, buy the used Oak barrels. Cut them down into chunks, makes fantastic smoking wood
 
I forgot that grapevines are fruit wood. (Slaps forehead while saying DOH!) We just cut down over 50 ft of it on the fence out back. It's still there. Maybe I'll go reclaim some of it...(after more research on it's flavor profile).
 
I had a buddy drop off a bushel basket full of grape trimmings, they were really great with Lamb!
Same guy has kept me in cherry for about three years! Nice to have friends.
