If you mean the idiom "heard it through the grapevine," this phrase dates from the invention of the telegraph. People realized that gossip can travel nearly as fast as if a telegraph wire were used. They called this the "grapevine telegraph" to distinguish it from the wire telegraph, because of the coiling tendrils of the grapevine that resembled wires.
