If you look at the label of a bottle of unsweetened grape juice for
the nutritional values (something I just happened to do recently for
other reasons) you'll get a vague idea. I STR it's about 1/8 sugars,
overall. Must would be _fairly_ close to that, probably somewhat less
since grape juice is probably filtered, so some fiber mass is
removed, making the juice's sugar content overall that much higher
than that of must.
