Question Grape Vine

Hi everyone

I am new to this forum and gardening in general and i need some advice about my grape vine. The vine was bought for me as a moving in present and is very well established.

The trunk is approx 6"-8" thick and about 5ft tall. It is in a large 3ft pot and it did have new growth on it (no grapes) when i received it but this was quickly broken off in high winds. The truck divides into 2 branches in a 'Y' shape at the top with 2 or 3 pencil think branches coming out of each arm.....

I would like to train the vine against a wall if at all possible and wondered about how best to do this? I have bought some vine hooks to go into the wall with the idea of putting some paralell wires in. Is this the correct thing to do? If not then what is? If so then how far apart to they need to be etc

I believe the vine was expensive (£150) and the last thing i want is to damage it as it looks really attractive just as an ornamental item.

Any help is much appreciated.
