As far as I know you just make sure they are cut with a good long angle on the bottom and bung em in a good composty soil and keep moist.

Cuttings should be from healthy stock, taken when the vine is dormant. Each cutting should be 1/3 to 1/2 inch in diameter, and include five buds.

Dig a trench in the nursery. Place the cutting on a slight diagonal with three buds below ground level. The fourth bud should be at ground level, and the fifth above. Mound soil over the cuttings so they are completely buried.

Once the two upper buds have made good growth outside the ridge of soil, the ridge may be removed.

I did this years ago with native (wild) grapes here in New England, and it worked fine.

It takes two years of growth in the nursery before the young rootings can be transplanted.
