I am growing a bonsai vineyard. Cabernet franc. see:

I'm sorry, those are not bonsai, any more than the dwarf apple
trees in an
orchard, or a dwarf potted patio tree, are bonsai. Your project
is commendable,
and I wish you luck, but don't call them bonsai.
Also, we have had some discussion about the so-called bonsai
grape vines from
Harry and David. They are questionable.
Iris,

A "bonsai vineyard" may not be bonsai (and these certainly are
not!), but you CAN make bonsai out of grape vines, Slanting,
windswept and various kinds of cascades are best, and fairly
large trees also are better because of the relatively large
leaves. I have a large (for me) semi cascade of Vitus
rotundifolia (the native grape (muscadine) in my part of the
world) that has promise.
