Grape vines?

I have just bought two grape vines but the tops have been covered in wax. Is it OK to leave the wax on and just let them grow or should I remove the wax and if so how do I do that without damaging the wood?

 

Leave the wax on Stuart, its probably grafting wax, or did I dream that?

 

No, just googled it, I didn't dream it

Grafting wax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

what variety of grape is it?

 

Thanks Ziggy I will leave well alone.
Miraflores, two different ones, one white Pinot Blanc one red Cabernet Sauvignon

 

When are you bottling it ?

Give the gang a call when you are ready

I think it will be a few years before there is enough to bottle but plan to make some wine at some point. . but quality single malts are my favourite tipple
