Some species of grapes (vitis) were native to Mesoamerica. For example:

Huerta-Acosta, Summaira Riaz, Omar Franco-Mora, Juan G. Cruz-Castillo, M.
Andrew Walker, “The
genetic diversity of wild grapes in Mexico,” Genetic Resources and Crop
Evolution 69 (2022): 1329-47
Some fruits could
be labeled “grape” or “grape-like.” Consider the following from a recent work
on the Maya:
The Tropical Forest
Tropical forests epitomize high biodiversity with their abundance of
fauna and flora, with which the Maya had a myriad of relations. For example,
when the Yucatec Maya talk about the uses of nearly 1,000 plant species, they
"often included the use made of plants by woodpeckers, warblers, or other
animals." Often flora have several uses such as is the negrito (Simaruba
glauca) tree with its edible and tasty purple grape-sized fruits. The Maya
also use its seeds to make soap.
. . .
There is a plethora of edible delights in the jungle–fruits and nuts,
stalks and roots, fish, and game. Since the Maya today use over 500 native
plants from gardens, fields, and forests, . . . caimitos (star apples
with their pink-red skin and white interior that taste like white grapes). (Lisa
