In the case of field blended wines, I've seen two rubrics for giving
the relative percent of differing varietals;

One is by weight of the grapes. There are some field blends being made
in Amador county that do just this. The other, seen on a few
Bordeauxs, is by the acreage planted over to each varietal.
