Project Vitis-Rescue is well and truly underway, I had to fell three trees; all of which were going to be cut in the near future anyway, but had to be brought down to get the vine out of them.
This is probably the main stem, about 75 feet overall, which I'll leave full length until next November or so.


Here's a typical "bunch" of grapes. When a grape vine isn't cultivated it shunts so much of the available carbohydrates to leaf and vine growth production that the grapes are substanially reduced in number. That, hopefully, will change as I prune it correctly this winter.


A typical leaf, while I've not made a 100% positive identification, I think it's a Riverbank Grape, Vitis Riparia.
