How should I prune/train my grape in container? Beginner!

[Ang09]

I have a table grape in a pot. That i did was drill holes into the container and zip tied (2-3 for each) two wood poles to the inside of the container walls. then I attached crossarms to serve as trellis "wire". The crossarm(s) can be as long as is practical.
