No idea but I reckon a good blast with the hose pipe would sort out both problems.   ;D

Is it droplets of crystallised sap?

Could it be guttation through not having enough airflow or overwatering. Though I have to say I have only seen guttation on leaves.
I was born with nothing and have most of it left.

I agree with Star - happens a lot with a number of plants, Okra comes to mind especially - with vines possibly calcium oxalate crystals within the droplets sometimes called sap pearls

soil moisture might be too high, check it out, otherwise I wouldn't worry about it - if the grapes are being fed then a residue might be visible as the pearls dry out (they can contain all sorts of salts, minerals etc) - if bothered about them wipe them off with a cotton bud
