Can you swap one for the other?
Only partly. Most of peanut's flavor molecules (278 of 385) are also found in grape, but grape has 292 that peanut lacks. Peanut gives you part of grape's character without most of its fruit. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.
