If the fruit aren't edible it's probably a wine grape, my parents had
one and made wine most years but it was really only good for cooking.

Wine grapes *are* edible. They must be very sweet in order to produce
alcohol.

We have a Muscat Alexandre and a Canon Hall but the former has given the
best grapes this year. We've had masses of them and they're extremely sweet
and delicious. I haven't noticed butterflies on them, perhaps because
they're both in greenhouses but I'll have to keep an eye open. There are
still plenty around the garden, though.

I had many, many red admirals on all of my fruit in Normandy this year,
not just the grapes. On the other hand, hardly any wasps.
