I walked into a middle-eastern store and asked for a jar of grape leaves,
and the owner pointed them out on the shelf. When I got them home, I noticed
the jar said "vine" leaves not "grape" leaves. I assume "grape" leaves
probably do not serve that function very well. What type of vine leaves
would be used to create "grape" leaves? Ingredients say vine leaves.

Just wondering.

My guess is that they really are grape leaves but the person translating the
ingredients list made an error of interpretation. AFAIK, real grape leaves
are used for dolmas and other middle eastern wrapped treats (Which is I
assume what you want to make).

Grape leaves and vine leaves are the same thing.

Grapes don't have leaves they are a fruit but the vine the fruit comes from
does have leaves.

The Vikings called North America Vineland, because of the grape vines
they found upon landing there. So my best guess is vine leaves are the
leaves from grape vines.
