A way bigger question than you might think. There is a lot of confusion about this and most websites don’t give very much info. There are a lot of options all depending on what you are training the vines on and what kind of effect you are going for. The source below is one of the best I’ve seen, very thorough. It’s too late to do any pruning now, but during the dormant season you’ll be able to very aggressively prune to shape. most people shy away from the hard pruning that grapes need, so don’t hesitate, the vine will be healthier and you will get much better fruit production.
