EXPLANATORY NOTE

Constellation Brands, Inc. (the “Company” or “CBI”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-Q (this “Amendment”) to amend its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended November 30, 2010, originally filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 10, 2011 (the “Original Form 10-Q”). This Amendment is being filed solely to amend Exhibit 10.1 to the Original Form 10-Q (the “Exhibit”). The Company had sought confidential treatment for portions of the Exhibit and, following correspondence with the SEC, is re-filing the Exhibit with less information redacted. The Company is including new certifications of CBI’s chief executive officer and of CBI’s chief financial officer pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company is not including certifications pursuant to Section 1350 of Chapter 63 of Title 18 of the United States Code (18 U.S.C. 1350) as no financial statements are being filed with this Amendment.

Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Form 10-Q. This Amendment does not modify or update in any way the financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or other disclosures in, or other exhibits to, the Original Form 10-Q. This Amendment speaks as of the original filing date of the Original Form 10-Q and does not reflect any events that occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-Q. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-Q and the Company’s other filings made with the SEC.
