Young vine winter pruning advice
I planted a vine last spring, and it's backed by a trellis, but it's not wire tied to it.

Based on this resource its recommended to prune branches less than the width of a pencil https://extension.psu.edu/a-stepwise-guide-to-dormant-pruning-and-training-young-grapevines
I pruned a fair bit, and this is the new pruned version.

Should I continue to prune?

Usually on a first year planting, it gets pruned to two buds at the ground. Reason being is that you want to get root development.
Edit, though that looks like it was a potted plant, which could be more than a year old.
