I can't understand clearly what the next sentences mean.
Could you explain it to me?
Well, he's usually at the clubhouse, especially since the wife grew some grapes and kicked him out.

To be blunt "grew some grapes" is a nice way of saying "grew some balls." In this example, the woman "stopped being scared" and kicked him out. There are a lot of expressions with testicles representing courage:
"I want to leave my wife, but I don't have the balls to tell her."
"I can't believe she talked to her boss like that - that was very ballsy."
Also when someone is being weak or whimpy, the say "Grow a pair!" (meaning: grow a pair of testicles (balls) = act like a man!)

In my interpretation...it probably means that his wife went sour on him ( not happy thus the use of grapes to represent his wife feelings or attitude towards him )
