Can you swap one for the other?

No. Spinach and grape are different kinds of food, so neither stands in for the other, whatever molecules they share. Treat them as partners, not stand-ins. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.

What they have in common

Almost everything spinach carries, grape has too: 247 of spinach's 274 flavor molecules also occur in grape. Among the shared key aromas are 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine (green bell pepper, earthy) and trans-2-decenal (waxy, orange). Shared chemistry is a reason to try a pair, not a promise that it works on the plate.
