Need some advice regarding our Grapevine please. It has been very productive over the years. this year it was laden with fruit and it has basically come to nothing. This is what the vine looks like now. all the grapes have shrivelled and as you can see there is a white powdery substance on the underneath of the leaf at the edge of the photo. This is is al over the plant. Never had any problems before so cannot understand itit. Hope someone can help

I think you have grape powdery mildew. It is a fungal disease.
It is more problematic in the damp cool conditions we have been having. You may need to spray the overwintering vine to reduce spores which will overwinter in the loose bark.
Thanks for the advice, Will look at treating the vine. I did wonder if it was some sort of fungus but had no idea where to start
Once again; Thanks
