You need to be putting them in a greenhouse, I've had a bit of success in the past with Lidl vines in the greenhouse.

We have enough sun and heat, but when we have a wet summer it puts a mould on the grapes.
If they were planted last year, there's be grapes his year for sure. Who knows what next year will bring?

The nicest grapes I've ever eaten were from Vaughans in Sligo town, they were grown in a greenhouse local to Sligo, they were small, but man they were totally amazeballs.
