Great now you finally have enough grapes to make a huge vat of wine to give Cyclops, until he passes out, then you can escape the California hell hole.

Grapes grow on a vine, and I assume they don't like it overly wet.

No they don't. Rain can be your enemy when its time to harvest. The grapes soak up the water, diluting the sugars and standing water on the clusters can encourage rot.

Grape vines do however love drip irrigation.
