On January 31, 2013, Constellation Brands, Inc. ("Constellation") issued a statement, a copy of which is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

References to Constellation's website in the statement do not incorporate by reference the information on such website into this Current Report on Form 8-K and Constellation disclaims any such incorporation by reference. The information in the statement attached as Exhibit 99.1 is incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01 in satisfaction of the public disclosure requirements of Regulation FD. This information is "furnished" and not "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is not otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. It may be incorporated by reference in another filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the Securities Act of 1933 only if and to the extent such subsequent filing specifically references the information incorporated by reference herein.

Constellation previously announced a transaction (the "Crown Acquisition") with Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV ("ABI") to acquire a 50% interest in Crown Imports LLC, which interest is currently owned by a subsidiary of Grupo Modelo S.A.B. de C.V. ("Modelo"). Upon consummation of the Crown Acquisition, Constellation would own 100% of Crown Imports LLC. The Crown Acquisition, however, is dependent upon ABI first acquiring the portion of Modelo which ABI does not currently own (the "Modelo Acquisition"). On January 31, 2013, the United States Department of Justice ("DOJ") filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia seeking to enjoin the Modelo Acquisition. ABI has stated that it intends to vigorously contest the DOJ's action. As a result, Constellation no longer expects that the Crown Acquisition will be completed during the first calendar quarter of 2013.
