I don't know a lot about pruning grapevines, but this link has great information:

No, I don't think you pruned your grapevines too far. Grapevines don't even become mature until the 3rd year of growth. Dormant pruning should be completed starting in late February thru March. Use pruning shears to prune back to 3 to 5 nodes per spur. The spurs should be evenly spaced along the cordon.
Thx everyone. I did watch a bunch of tutorials first, but never really found one that were grown quite like mine. They are at least 6 years old with so much over growth. I just hope I left enough canes and spurs. The one on the arbor I cut in early March, but the larger one, not until today. I know, a little late. I tried to leave some buds but accidentally cut some off. I guess we’ll see? 😕
From personal experience, I know that grape vines can grow like weeds. Every fall I would cut it back . In the spring even when the plant looked half dead, when I went away for a week, it seemed like the darn things would be almost taking over half the yard by the time I returned home!
It is still early in the year as far as the growth season. If the plant is already 6 years old, I wouldn't worry too much that it won't come back again this year.
Enjoy your arbours.
I would say no. I cut mine a lot shorter than that and they grow like mad every year.
I cut ours back late winter, it was an especially mild winter, they are younger than yours. So far lots of buds.
The main stock is so thick they will grow back
Hi, please don't worry your grape vine will be fine. Well established ones like yours are tough and she'll be pushing out new shoots in no time
It should grow back just fine. No worries!
Hello. I wouldn’t worry it should be fine. We have encroaching grapevines from the property line that enter twine in our evergreen trees and we’re pulling them out by the roots and they still come back.
grapevines are like ivy... they always return
