EXHIBIT 23.2
------------

INFORMATION REGARDING CONSENT OF ARTHUR ANDERSEN

Section 11 (a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), provides that if part of a registration statement at the time it becomes
effective contains an untrue statement of a material fact, or omits a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, any person acquiring a security pursuant to such registration
statement (unless it is proved that at the time of such acquisition such person
knew of such untruth or omission) may assert a claim against, among others, an
accountant who has consented to be named as having certified any part of the
registration statement or as having prepared any report for use in connection
with the registration statement. In August of 2002, Arthur Andersen LLP
("Andersen") ceased operations. Accordingly, Andersen is unable to consent to
the incorporation by reference in the Company's previously filed Registration
Statements on Form S-8 file numbers 33-26694, 33-56557, 333-88391, 333-57912 and
333-68180 and Form S-3 file number 333-63480 (the "Registration Statements") of
Andersen's audit report with respect to Constellation Brands, Inc.'s
consolidated financial statements as of February 28, 2002 and February 28, 2001
and for the three years ended February 28, 2002. Under these circumstances, Rule
437a under the Securities Act permits Constellation Brands, Inc. to file its
Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 24, 2003 (the "Form 8-K"), of which
this Exhibit 23.2 forms a part, which form 8-K is incorporated by reference into
the Registration Statements, without a written consent from Andersen. As a
result, with respect to transactions in Constellation Brands, Inc. securities
pursuant to the Registration Statements that occur subsequent to the date the
Form 8-K is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Andersen will not
have any liability under Section 11(a) of the Securities Act for any untrue
statements of a material fact contained in the financial statements audited by
Andersen or any omissions of a material fact required to be stated therein.
Accordingly, you would be unable to assert a claim against Andersen under
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, based upon the incorporation by reference
from the Form 8-K into the Registration Statements, because Andersen has not
consented to the incorporation by reference of its audit report into the
Registration Statements.
