According to google the wild grape leaves are edible - so you should be able to use them in your pickles. And we have eaten the wild grapes before.

My mom made grape leaf dills and they were crunchier than her former recipe... but not nearly as crunchy as the pickles one buys at the store. Not sure why that is.

Store bought pickles have road salt, calcium cloride in them. Same stuff that ruins tractor rims if the tires leak. I don't know if that is what makes them crisp.
