What can you tell me about growing grapes?

I started a grape vine from a seed someone sent me. Wasn't quite sure what kind of grape it was, but I did have germination and grew it on and now it is about 5 years old. The first location it was growing, was not enough sun so I moved it. This was the first year in it's new location and I hadn't seen a grape to this point. I was just thinking that maybe I was just going to get rid of the vine because maybe grapes need two cultivars to cross pollinate or something to make fruit. So today I wasn't looking for grapes, but I had a Morning Glory growing in with the grape vine by volunteer and I was trying to collect seed, when I spotted 3 small green grapes!! Very surprised. So this is the first year it fruited and I tasted one grape and it was pretty sweet for a backyard grape.

So now I'm excited to try harder to get the vine to produce more fruit next year, but not sure what I can do to help it along. Anyone have any experience with grapes?

Thanks
