In today´s word of the day thread I´m seeing some usage of "las viñas" and some as "los viñedos." Is there a difference?

To me "viña" is the grape plant. "Viñedo" is a field of viñas.

Don't you call the grape plant "vid"

Una linea del poeta Antonio Machado.

Mientras el sol en el ocaso esplende que los racimos de la vid orea.

While the resplendent sunset warms the clusters of grape vine.

A "viñedo" may be bigger than a "viña".
