What do you get when you step on a grape?
It gives a little wine.
It gives a little wine.
Same homophone magic as bad-038: "wine" and "whine" sound identical. Stepping on a grape squishes it (producing wine) and would make it cry out in pain (a whine). The grape literally and figuratively wines/whines. It's the companion piece to the grape-crushing joke — same pun, different angle.
Ask the setup with curiosity about what would actually happen. Say "a little wine" quietly, almost a whisper, like you're doing a tiny grape voice.
