The crops I am interested in is Actinidia deliciosa & A Cheninsis (Green & Gold Kiwifruit). Although I expect the same principles would apply to other vine species.
I have the Wareing Phillips book growth & differentiation in plants, which gives a nice overview but it is not specific to vines species.
A number of experiments were done in your country, Try NZ JCSH 1990 https://books.google.it/books?id=JoGFt_RMF5wC&pg=PA230&lpg=PA230&dq=vine+apical+dominance&source=bl&ots=Ve_JPI0kqq&sig by Snelgar and Manson and followers. The main variables are mechanical or chemical control, with a strong dependency on bud dormancy (season, temperature and number of removed buds). Also Dikegulak PP333 and Alar are active on dominance, like is shade.
In Vitis, you may want to look for publications by Poszluzny, U. and Gerrath, J. I hope I have the spellings correct. Peter
