This strong lineup of brands is backed by the right strategy and infrastructure to recognize the fullest potential from both new and existing brands in our global portfolio.

Constellation conducted an in-depth research study of the U.S. wine market. In this groundbreaking piece of research, 3,500 premium wine customers responded to more than 100 questions on their wine purchasing and consumption habits, in addition to questions about the attitudes and lifestyle factors influencing their wine purchase decisions. The conclusion was clear: there is no typical wine consumer. Rather, wine drinkers tend to fall into one of six specific segments, each with its own set of attributes, motivations, preferences and shopping behaviors.

Beer

The beer portfolio of Crown Imports LLC, Constellation’s joint venture with Grupo Modelo of Mexico, is expected to continue driving growth in the profitable import category, where it has consistently outperformed every segment of the U.S. market.
