Vines don't inherently grow counterclockwise, but the tendency for some vines to climb counterclockwise around a support structure is likely due to the orientation of the helical growth habit of the plant's stems. This is known as twining, and some plants naturally twine in one direction over the other. The genetics and growth patterns of the vine determine the direction it twines, which may vary between species.
