Interesting article, while I agree with you for the most part I can’t help but wonder how many fewer real wine drinkers we would have without these types of wines. I feel safe in assuming that you have a very advanced palate, or to put it another way, a very mature palate. Was this always the case? My guess would be no. When I look at my own growth as a wine drinker I can’t believe some of the wines I used to think were “good”. The wines that I once thought were good would probably be on the “loathe” list now. But without those wines I probably wouldn’t have advanced my palate to where it is today.I think this all has to do with maturity related to the topic of discussion. Wine, beer, movies, and music all fit. I see examples of this every now and then. I see a movie that I loved 20 years ago, and now when I watch it I can’t believe how bad it is.So while I completely agree with you and have no love for those that choose to make these mass appeal wines, I do see their value to the overall wine community. And even though a majority of the amateur wine drinkers may not take the next step to advance their palate, those that do are in for a lifetime of enjoyment, but owe it, in some ways, to those mass produced “popular” wines.
