Are there any Aphids on the vine? could be their honeydew.

Hi Liddy, I think it's probably just the grapevine 'leaking' a little. They tend to be a bit sticky, they soak up a lot of water & exude it as clear drops & if you break a leaf or stem off you'll see that it is wet, sweet & sticky at the break like grape juice is.The little snail is probably just a baby snail, I get odd snails on the leaves of my vine but they don't seem to do any harm, they just seem to sleep there for some reason! Try & post a pic. of the problem if you don't think that's it.
