Default growing grapes in a container

Hello,

I'm a new gardener, and new to this group. If any I ask should be
better asked elsewhere, let me know. I'm in Atlanta.

I've acquired from a neighbor a "wishing well", think of the as a
large pot, 16" deep and 16" across or so (inside dimensions). I have a
sunny entrance to my yard but it is on the edge of a concrete driveway,
so I thought of the "wishing well". I can set up a long "trellis" for
this to grow along

Can I grow a grape in such a container and have it yield fruit. What
sort of soil and do I need drainage in such a large pot? Will it need a
companion grape and does that have to be of the same type?

If this is all crazy, I'll find some other use for the wishing well...

Jeff
