I grow grapes up my kitchen wall and I always cut them back to the shape of a hand opened up if you will...so you have for instance 5 shoots ( thats what I have)on each vine but I will only cut them back to where next years new shoots will start from...once you have done it a few times its quite easy..its also great in the summer when they are full height and have spread across the whole of the walll and full of fruit....looks really nice...and they taste amazing, better than the supermarket stuff...I also grow carrots in old wellies but thats another thing...
