As pointed out, Jack's site is a general good resource. The main
issues working with such small amount of grapes a 1) a lot of work
for a small reward, and 2) the environment has a greater impact on the
result in terms of bacteria, oxygen, etc., so the winemaking is more
difficult.

Google Jeff Chorniak. He's making wines from bonsai grapes so he might
have the best perspective on this.
