I have just purchased a Vitis vinifera grape vine, it is in a container 12"dia x 12" high, the growth above soil is 35". the vine has an 8" girth. It has 8 branches at the top and 4 lower branches. At present it has 3 small bunches of delicious black grapes on the upper branches and 1 bunch of small green grapes on one of the lower branches. My question is, would it be better to keep it growing in the container its in, and (a) keep it in the greenhouse or (b) plant it in the soil either in or out of the greenhouse.It looks quite old judging by the girth. Would I be correct in thinking this is a standard? As my knowledge of grape vines is non existent any advice on its future,i.e. feeding/pruning would be gratefully received.

I planted out one of these into the greenhouse several years ago. Although it gave me grapes the first year they were small with big pips so the following year I dug it back up again and planted it outdoors on the south side of my shed. There it remains and still gives me small grapes with big pips.
I then went to my local garden centre and bought a black hamburg grapevine. This now gives me big grapes with pips.
