Constellation Amends and Extends

Revolving Credit Facility and a Portion of

Term Loan; Intends to Call Senior

Subordinated Notes

VICTOR, N.Y., Jan. 26, 2010 – Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE: STZ, ASX: CBR), the world’s leading wine company, announced today that it has successfully amended its Senior Credit Facility to extend a portion of its revolving credit facility until June 2013, which was otherwise due to expire in June 2011, and extend $300 million of its $1.2 billion term loan. In addition, the company announced that it intends to give notice to call, without penalty on Feb. 25, 2010, all $250 million of its 8 1/8 percent senior subordinated notes due Jan. 15, 2012.

“Our current focus on debt reduction remains unchanged,” said Bob Ryder, chief financial officer. “Through strong free cash flow generation and the proceeds from asset sales, we have reduced our leverage and improved our credit profile. We decided to take advantage of our current position and improved credit markets to extend these debt maturities and prepay the 2012 senior subordinated notes, which we expect will lower interest expense.”

Additional details regarding these activities are available in the company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
