I have had a grapevine growing outside next to my back door for about 15
years and it has always provided enough grapes for a few bottles of wine.
Over the last couple of weeks it has put out lots of new leaves and little
bunches of grape flowers so things looked good. The grape trails in one
direction over the back of my house and in the other direction over an
adjoining fence.

A couple of days ago I noticed that all the new shoots and the grape flowers
were drooping and they look like they are dying. The soil is well watered

Maybe that's your problem.

Only if it's in a pot. If not, a fifteen year old vine will have roots
spread far and wide.
