Bought a house with huge neglected grapevine and cut it back to the main trunk—advice?

Hey everyone! Hoping for some advice from those more experienced than me :) First time homeowner in the PNW here, I recently moved into a house with a massively overgrown grapevine that was snaking through trees, and collapsing its arbor. Through summer and fall it had some disease issues and we just left any fruit for the birds.

I talked to my local master gardeners, checked out a local university guide, and did lots of reading online before concluding I should just saw everything off, leaving only the main trunk so we could start totally fresh and rebuild the rotted/fallen arbor.

Well I did that today, and then started second guessing myself. I’ve since found some info about using a sealing product, fungicide, etc on the cut wound and that I should’ve left some parts besides the main trunk. I’m so worried we damaged this gorgeous, mature plant beyond hope! Can anyone provide guidance on what to do next? I was under the impression I could just cut it and leave it alone until new shoots appear in spring, but now I’m unsure. Hoping I’m just overthinking it. Thanks very much!

What do I do next for this shine muscat?

First time growing a grape plant as a hobbyist and am clueless what to do now. This is a marcotted shine muscat that recently outgrew its little pot. I just put it in a self watering pot yesterday (am fearing it is a bad idea) and am now trying out a sunny balcony spot for it. It has developed some yellow spots on the leaves and aerial roots that don't look good. :( (I am still trying to figure out how to add more photos for clarity and will do so when I can.)

It obviously need some pruning and more, but I am terrified of doing the wrong thing. Any advice is appreciated. TIA!

Can grapes grow on different trees?

I heard that grapes grow on vines, does this mean they can climb another fruit tree and grow along side it? Would it depend on different kinds of grapes?

For context, I wanted to write a story that involves multiple fruits growing alongside each other. It wouldn't affect my writing, but I was curious if that was realistically possible.

Washing grapes?

I was just wondering if anyone could share what they think the best method is for washing and storing grocery store purchased grapes? I eat a lot of grapes and I’ve tried several different methods with varying degrees of success. Currently I do a cold water rinse and then soak them for 5-10 minutes in a bowl of water with a little bit of apple cider vinegar added and then rinse them again in cold water. I’ve tried using baking soda and/or salt as well but that usually doesn’t turn out well especially for more delicate varieties like the holiday red grapes that are available now where I live. Any tips? Thanks so much
