Strawberries are fine as plug plants and its probably the best way to buy them. Grapes though will be sold as a vine - only a short vine, not a big one. Fruit bushes can be expensive to buy and for the last few years the supermarket Aldi has been selling bare rooted fruit trees and fruit bushes for about £1.99. They usually start selling them in February and you might get a grape vine there. There are different special offers each week on these fruit bushes and because of the price they sell quickly. I think you can sign up for their newsletter which lets you know the week before what the offers are. Woolies, Wilkinson and Lidl also sell fruit bushes.
