Porcelain Berry Vine aka Ampelopsis brevipedunculata.

I agree with Kayjones on that ID. There's another vine that has similar colored berries called a Mile a Minute vine (Persicaria perfoliata). It's not woody and is covered with small sharp barbs. It's horribly invasive here, more so then the Porcelain Berry. The seeds are spread by birds.
