@CrazyQuilter It kind of sounds like the grapes you are growing are not suited to where you live. Do you know your climate type?
@CrazyQuilter that vine might never bounce back, to be honest. If I were serious about growing some grapes there, I would get rid of that vine, and buy a variety that does well in that area.
I would cut that vine back to about a foot above the ground, wait for it to leaf out again, then apply round up.
I don't really know what it is like to garden where you are. There is a garden group for your area on here. I would check with them for better info.
Good luck!
@CrazyQuilter oh ok! I misread. In that case it sounds like you are doing all the right things. Not sure every step you are taking is necessary, but I don't like high maintenance plants.
The frost goes 8 feet into the ground here so, no.

Have a vine that I inherited out the back but the birds/rats/mice always get them before I do and as they are only the green variety. I can get them cheaply and better quality in the supermarket in season. They are not worth the effort imo.

Requires attention. Pruning, protection from the birds. My neighbor has a vineyard & has elicited help as he can't handle the enormity. However if you don't mind sharing with the creatures & the blight, & the training, & pruning....just let 'em go, I would certainly grow some.
