grape vine cuttings

I just pruned my granddads old grape vine. Don't know what variety it is. Its probably been in the corner of his greenhouse for about 20 years.

Anyways I have a few hard cuttings with several buds on. Does anyone have any advice on getting grape vine cuttings to root?

Many thanks.

I got a 100% success rate last winter by cutting them into short stems with three buds on, dipped them in rooting powder and chucked them into an old 2l pet bottle with the middle bud flush with the compost surface and covered them. Apparently I didn't need to use rooting powder but by the time I found that I had already done it.

dead easy - just cut them into 12" lengths with a bud near the top and stick them in the ground/pot of soil.

I third that! really easy to root! just stick em in compost and away they go!

We dry out the cuttings and use as fire lighters, great on the BBQ

No need to graft?
