    I live in SW Florida and I am looking for a grape vine that bears no fruit and the leaves can be used for stuffing.

    Vitis coignetiae (Crimson Glory Vine) is listed in at least one source (www.pfaf.org) as being used historically for edible leaf production, and produces very little fruit.

    Assuming the grafted form is available (not a given) it only would slightly prolong the time till Pierce's Disease kills it.
