Just for reference it is possible to grow these vines in Lancashire, outside. Last year I made a cracking 10 bottles (using an apple scratter to mince them up - 3 passes - and wild yeast) - plus a little chaptalisation (tate n lyle) to bring it up to 11.5%
The result was marvellous, but better whilst fresh - I did add a bit of sulphite but I don't think it is aging well.
Now trying to propagate the vines.. and chopping down the tasteless peach trees to reclaim the space...
