I do outdoor myself... seem to have done well. A few less leaves would have got more light to the fruit and a bit of thinning within the bunch to avoid the small grapes...  :-\

can you take the leaves off while the vines are in full growth?

Yes, they are edible if prepared (Dolmades?). Should cut off all growth a couple of leaves after a bunch has set... reduces chance of mildew on the fruit as the moisture gets caught between the leaves and the glass...
