I want to be a vintner but I need a coach/mentor. Any volunteers?

Most of the rural homes in this area have a scuppernong arbor.
They are typically rectangular with the wires around 7 feet off the ground. I would guess they average around 16 by 10 feet.
The prior owner of my place made one which pretty much looks like it was just a clothes line with two very heavy wires. Posts around 12 feet apart. It bears very heavily. Wires are around 4 ft. off the ground.

I know that you can hire workers at 6 am, 9 am, noon and 5 pm and pay them all the same amount - a denarius. I have that on good authority.

I’m in NC, there’s a smaller startup winery with vineyards nearby. They have the “T” posts with wires side by side. Seem to be doing reasonably well. But, wildlife also appears to be an issue. All manner of deterrents, silver streamers, netting. May want to consider this.
To: killermosquito
Welll ... I'm no vintner, nor do I want to be, but I have a Concord vine that is planted to the side of one of these ...
...
totally stripped, of course and deer fence mesh used for the seat and canopy
MY bigest problem is beating the birds to the grapes !
Makes a lovely feature in my front yard ....
Sure beats the wheelbarrow tipped over growing weeds

My uncle grew grapes in California. It was many years ago but the best I can recall, rows of grapes at heavy posts, trained along two very heavy wires strung between the posts.
I don’t recall the height of the wires but not too high since all the kids and cousins did the picking. Probably a little over five feet.

I hear Nancy Pelosi knows a few things about the business, including procuring cheap illegal field hands.

What is the wore and post configuration and why did you do it that way and are you glad you did?
