Steps to Prune Your Grape Vines:
1. **Time It Right**: Prune during late winter while vines are dormant to prevent sap bleeding.
2. **Identify Old and New Wood**: Remove old, non-productive wood and leave healthy new canes with buds.
3. **Leave the Right Number of Buds**: Keep 3-5 buds per cane for balanced growth and fruiting.
4. **Thin Out Crowded Areas**: Trim any tangled or excess canes to improve airflow and sunlight exposure.
5. **Shape and Support**: Cut back excess vines to keep a manageable shape, tying branches to support trellises.
