CANANDAIGUA WINE COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 1996


1) MANAGEMENT'S REPRESENTATIONS:

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to quarterly reporting on Form
10-Q and reflect, in the opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary to
present the financial information for Canandaigua Wine Company, Inc. and its
subsidiaries. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements,
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been
condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. These
consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes,
included in the Company's Transition Report on Form 10-K, for the transition
period from September 1, 1995, to February 29, 1996.

2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Certain November 1995 balances have been reclassified to conform with
current year presentation.

3) INVENTORIES:

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (computed in accordance with
the last-in, first-out (LIFO) or first-in, first-out (FIFO) methods) or market.
The percentage of inventories valued using the LIFO method is 94% at November
30, 1996, and February 29, 1996. Replacement cost of the inventories determined
on a FIFO basis is approximately $386,421,000, and $332,849,000, at November 30,
1996, and February 29, 1996, respectively. The net realizable value of the
Company's inventories is in excess of $373,631,000, and $341,838,000, at
November 30, 1996, and February 29, 1996, respectively.

Elements of cost include materials, labor and overhead and consist of the
following:

November 30, February 29,
1996 1996
-------- --------
(IN THOUSANDS)
Raw materials and supplies $ 25,930 $ 24,197
Wines and distilled spirits in process 269,959 254,956
Finished case goods 77,742 62,685
-------- --------
$373,631 $341,838
======== ========

If the FIFO method of inventory valuation had been used, reported net
income would have been approximately $12,500,000, or $.63 per share, higher for

Page 5


the nine months ended November 30, 1996; and reported net income would have been
approximately $100,000, or $.01 per share, lower for the nine months ended
November 30, 1995.

4) ACQUISITIONS:

VINTNERS HOLDBACK -

On September 26, 1996, the Company reached a final settlement with the
company formerly known as Vintners International Company, Inc. and its lenders
on the disputed final closing net asset statement. As a result, the Company
recorded a purchase price reduction for the Vintners Acquisition, which reduced
recorded goodwill by approximately $5,894,000.

UNITED DISTILLERS -

The following table sets forth the unaudited pro forma consolidated results
of operations of the Company for the nine months ended November 30, 1996 and
1995. The nine month unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for
the period ended November 30, 1995, gives effect to the UDG Acquisition as if it
occurred on March 1, 1995. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of
operations are presented after giving effect to certain adjustments for
depreciation, amortization of goodwill, interest expense on the acquisition
financing and related income tax effects. The unaudited pro forma consolidated
results of operations are based upon currently available information and upon
certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the
circumstances. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations do not
purport to represent what the Company's consolidated results of operations would
actually have been if the UDG Acquisition in fact had occurred on such date or
to project the Company's consolidated results of operations at any future date
or for any future period.
