grapevines
Vineyard's climbing plants
Grapevines are the climbing plants that produce grapes, trained on trellises or arbors for wine production and table fruit.
The singular grapevine also names an informal channel for rumors and gossip: I heard through the grapevine that they're getting divorced.
The image is of information traveling along interconnected social paths, like tendrils spreading vine to vine.
