I was able to root one out of three (muscadine) cuttings about a month ago. If you can pull down a shoot to the ground and put a rock on it, your new grape vine will be will be well rooted by next Spring

hummingtammy,

Cuttings are usually taken when the dormant vine is pruned late winter. They are best started in pots and root every easily. If your neighbor is willing to layer a branch for you the way pbyrley suggested that could be done too, but I suggest heavy mulching during winter just to be on the safe side.

Not sure about Concords, but both green and red seedless take 3 yrs before they really begin to produce.
