Default Field Blend Percentage

The Geyserville discussion of blend percentages led me to suddenly
realize that I didn't know what I didn't know!

We're accustomed to seeing percentage of varietals in blended wines.
My question is "percent of what?"

Is this a percentage based on weight of grapes, volume of grapes,
liquid measure of pressing, mixing of vinified pure varietal, or what?

Does "field blend" denote a difference from some other type of blend
of varietals?
