hi, depends on what kind of plec you are talking about. Wood for sure as they rasp on it,, but I am not familiar with the wood you mentioned.

As for food, some eat raw veggies and some eat protien. That is why we need to know the type . Too much protien for a plec that needs veggies can cause digestive problems --which you don't want. So do you know the name or L# ? If not , post a picure and members can try to help you.

Be sure the grape wood has not been sprayed like in a orchard situation.
Food, start with Hikari algae wafers no matter what species of pleco as it is good for all.
Try a little weighted down bit of vegetables like cucumber or zucchini. Many of them like it. Remove any uneaten pieces the next day so it doesn't pollute the water.

Agreed, watch out for the grape vines, If they come from a vineyard, wash them thoroughly, they could have any chemical residue on them... Shop bought vines in sealed wrapping are ok, still wash them tho, wash anything going into your tank ;)
