But the grapes weren’t uprooted?

Even if they were, just put ‘em back, pack’em in and prune ‘em like you were trying to kill them in a month or so.

In many fruiting perennial plants, root shock instigates accelerated growth and flowering the next year. Grapes are probably the most forgiving and regenerative plant we have.

Believe it or not, the base of the vines are so thick and entwined, it didn't even break the soil. Made them a little limber, maybe, but no actual damage. Helluva thing for as large a mass as went on its side. I'll definitely have to get it upright this weekend. Muscadines will grab anything available - it might crawl into the driveway and eat my van by Sunday.
