This one is hard. It’s kinda hard to define what a bad producer is when you’re not in the business.

It’d have to be something like a good winery that was purchased by Constellation or Gallo.

I mean yellowtail is kinda a popular post … wouldn’t say it is loved … but is the most loved bad producer in this sub

Bogle.
You’d never find their wines keeping company with the actual good stuff, but r/wine routinely cites them as the best of the bottom shelf, often rightfully

Since it’s a hard one i’m gonna make a stretch: Caymus.
Old vintages are loved, new ones make people talk (about how shitty it is), i mean, it’s not 19 crimes at the end of the day.
It’s a hate-love, nostalgic relationship.

Four Graces was better before it sold

Nowhere else in winedom is the gaslighting as intense as the Jura. So many janky country wines that inexplicably have a veneer of respectability.

19 Crimes. It’s loved by r/wine for meme value alone.

How the hell is ABC average?

Would also have gone with Yellowtail or casillero del diablo. They’re not really loved, but often pop up in discussion and receive a lot of “not bad for a mass produced cheap wine.”

Chateau Ste. Michelle, maybe?

How you can make such consistently mediocre wines from some of the best plots in the world is astounding.
Worst VFM in Burgundy but somehow gets a shout-out in every thread.
(No, their Beaujolais isn’t good value either)
