The wild grape leaves should be fine, 2 - 4 smaller grape leaves or 1 - 2 large leaves per gallon jar, I add a horseradish leaf and 2 - 3 sour cherry leaves too. I forgot about oak leaves, will try adding one next time if I get a good pickle harvest. I say use what you can get, but horseradish leaves and black currant leaves make an aroma and flavor difference.
Learned and remembered some awesome things here. Thank You for all the wonderful input!
