Item 2.02.     Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

          On June 29, 2006, Constellation Brands, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, issued a press release (the “release”) announcing its results of operations and financial condition for the first fiscal quarter ended as of May 31, 2006.  A copy of the release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.  The projections constituting the guidance included in the release involve risks and uncertainties, the outcome of which cannot be foreseen at this time and, therefore, actual results may vary materially from these forecasts. In this regard, see the information included in the release under the caption “Forward-Looking Statements.”

          The information in the release and in this Item 2.02 section is “furnished” and not “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.  Such information may only 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 such information.

          The release contains non-GAAP financial measures; in the release these are referred to as “comparable” measures or “constant currency.”  For purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a registrant’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of the issuer; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented.  In this regard, GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided reconciliations within the release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

          Comparable measures are provided because management uses this information in evaluating the results of the continuing operations of the Company and in internal goal setting.  In addition, the Company believes this information provides investors a better insight on underlying business trends and results in order to evaluate year over year financial performance.  As such, the following items, when appropriate, are excluded from comparable results:  the flow through of adverse grape cost associated with the acquisition of The Robert Mondavi Corporation (“Robert Mondavi”); the flow through of inventory step-up associated with acquisitions and investments in equity method investees; accelerated depreciation costs in connection with certain restructuring activities; acquisition-related integration costs associated with the Robert Mondavi acquisition; restructuring and related charges and other costs associated with the Company’s realignment of business operations within the Company’s wine segment, the Robert Mondavi acquisition and the worldwide wine reorganization and program to consolidate certain west coast production processes in the U.S.; the loss on the sale of the Company’s branded water business; gain on change in fair value of derivative instrument entered into to hedge the U.S. dollar cost of a foreign currency denominated acquisition and related payment of certain outstanding indebtedness; due diligence costs associated with the Company’s evaluation of a potential offer for Allied Domecq; and the income tax adjustment in connection with the reversal of an income tax accrual related to the completion of various income tax examinations are excluded from comparable results.
