Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS: Overview – Our risk management and derivative accounting policies are presented in Notes 1 and 6 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2016 Annual Report and have not changed significantly for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2016 . The aggregate notional value of outstanding derivative instruments is as follows: August 31, February 29, (in millions ) Derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments Foreign currency contracts $ 899.2 $ 731.6 Interest rate swap contracts $ 750.0 $ 600.0 Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments Foreign currency contracts $ 471.3 $ 975.6 Commodity derivative contracts $ 186.3 $ 198.7 Interest rate swap contracts $ 1,000.0 $ 1,000.0 Credit risk – We are exposed to credit-related losses if the counterparties to our derivative contracts default. This credit risk is limited to the fair value of the derivative contracts. To manage this risk, we contract only with major financial institutions that have earned investment-grade credit ratings and with whom we have standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements which allow for net settlement of the derivative contracts. We have also established counterparty credit guidelines that are regularly monitored. Because of these safeguards, we believe the risk of loss from counterparty default to be immaterial. In addition, our derivative instruments are not subject to credit rating contingencies or collateral requirements. As of August 31, 2016 , the estimated fair value of derivative instruments in a net liability position due to counterparties was $69.6 million . If we were required to settle the net liability position under these derivative instruments on August 31, 2016 , we would have had sufficient availability under our available liquidity on hand to satisfy this obligation. Results of period derivative activity – The estimated fair value and location of our derivative instruments on our balance sheets are as follows (see Note 4 ): Assets Liabilities August 31, February 29, August 31, February 29, (in millions) Derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments Foreign currency contracts: Prepaid expenses and other $ 6.3 $ 5.5 Other accrued expenses and liabilities $ 25.2 $ 33.0 Other assets $ 3.8 $ 1.2 Other liabilities $ 27.1 $ 26.2 Interest rate swap contracts: Other assets $ 0.4 $ 0.3 Other accrued expenses and liabilities $ 1.0 $ 1.5 Other liabilities $ 0.7 $ 0.4 Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments Foreign currency contracts: Prepaid expenses and other $ 3.1 $ 4.8 Other accrued expenses and liabilities $ 2.1 $ 9.8 Commodity derivative contracts: Prepaid expenses and other $ 2.3 $ 0.6 Other accrued expenses and liabilities $ 18.7 $ 29.3 Other assets $ 1.1 $ 0.3 Other liabilities $ 7.4 $ 16.8 Interest rate swap contracts: Prepaid expenses and other $ 0.4 $ 0.7 Other accrued expenses and liabilities $ 2.8 $ 5.7 The principal effect of our derivative instruments designated in cash flow hedging relationships on our results of operations, as well as Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”), net of income tax effect, is as follows: Derivative Instruments in Designated Cash Flow Hedging Relationships Net Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI (Effective portion) Location of Net Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI to Income (Effective portion) Net Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI to Income (Effective portion) (in millions) For the Six Months Ended August 31, 2016 Foreign currency contracts $ (0.6 ) Sales $ 0.2 Cost of product sold (10.7 ) Interest rate swap contracts 0.1 Interest expense (3.7 ) $ (0.5 ) $ (14.2 ) For the Six Months Ended August 31, 2015 Foreign currency contracts $ (34.9 ) Sales $ 0.9 Cost of product sold (7.8 ) Interest rate swap contracts (1.0 ) Interest expense (4.2 ) $ (35.9 ) $ (11.1 ) For the Three Months Ended August 31, 2016 Foreign currency contracts $ 1.7 Sales $ 0.1 Cost of product sold (5.7 ) Interest rate swap contracts (0.8 ) Interest expense (1.8 ) $ 0.9 $ (7.4 ) For the Three Months Ended August 31, 2015 Foreign currency contracts $ (28.0 ) Sales $ 0.3 Cost of product sold (4.3 ) Interest rate swap contracts (0.3 ) Interest expense (2.1 ) $ (28.3 ) $ (6.1 ) We expect $13.8 million of net losses, net of income tax effect, to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) to our results of operations within the next 12 months. The effect of our undesignated derivative instruments on our results of operations is as follows: Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Location of Net Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income Net Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income (in millions) For the Six Months Ended August 31, 2016 Commodity derivative contracts Cost of product sold $ 7.7 Foreign currency contracts Selling, general and administrative expenses (14.3 ) $ (6.6 ) For the Six Months Ended August 31, 2015 Commodity derivative contracts Cost of product sold $ (16.4 ) Foreign currency contracts Selling, general and administrative expenses (15.1 ) $ (31.5 ) For the Three Months Ended August 31, 2016 Commodity derivative contracts Cost of product sold $ (5.4 ) Foreign currency contracts Selling, general and administrative expenses (3.8 ) $ (9.2 ) For the Three Months Ended August 31, 2015 Commodity derivative contracts Cost of product sold $ (11.2 ) Foreign currency contracts Selling, general and administrative expenses (11.0 ) $ (22.2 )

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: Authoritative guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements for financial instruments. This guidance emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and states that a fair value measurement should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. It establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy includes three levels: • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2 inputs include data points that are observable such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable for the asset and liability, either directly or indirectly; and • Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Fair value methodology and assumptions – The methods and assumptions we use to estimate the fair value for each class of our financial instruments are presented in Notes 1 and 7 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2016 Annual Report and have not changed significantly for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2016 . The carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable to banks, approximate fair value as of August 31, 2016 , and February 29, 2016 , due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As of August 31, 2016 , the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $7,914.7 million , compared with an estimated fair value of $8,111.3 million . As of February 29, 2016 , the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $7,672.9 million , compared with an estimated fair value of $7,252.0 million . Recurring basis measurements – The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis: Fair Value Measurements Using Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Total (in millions) August 31, 2016 Assets: Foreign currency contracts $ — $ 13.2 $ — $ 13.2 Commodity derivative contracts $ — $ 3.4 $ — $ 3.4 Interest rate swap contracts $ — $ 0.8 $ — $ 0.8 Available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities $ — $ — $ 4.9 $ 4.9 Liabilities: Foreign currency contracts $ — $ 54.4 $ — $ 54.4 Commodity derivative contracts $ — $ 26.1 $ — $ 26.1 Interest rate swap contracts $ — $ 4.5 $ — $ 4.5 February 29, 2016 Assets: Foreign currency contracts $ — $ 11.5 $ — $ 11.5 Commodity derivative contracts $ — $ 0.9 $ — $ 0.9 Interest rate swap contracts $ — $ 1.0 $ — $ 1.0 AFS debt securities $ — $ — $ 4.6 $ 4.6 Liabilities: Foreign currency contracts $ — $ 69.0 $ — $ 69.0 Commodity derivative contracts $ — $ 46.1 $ — $ 46.1 Interest rate swap contracts $ — $ 7.6 $ — $ 7.6

None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The results of operations of Ballast Point are reported in the Beer segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

The interest rate varies based on the subsidiary’s consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Canadian Credit Agreement) and is a function of a base rate plus a margin.

As of August 31, 2016, amounts outstanding under the contractual agreement were $158.5 million with a weighted average interest rate of 5.7% . Accounts receivable securitization facilities: On September 28, 2015, we amended our prior trade accounts receivable securitization facility (as amended, the “CBI Facility”) for an additional 364 -day term.

INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES: Our effective tax rate for the six months ended August 31, 2016 , and August 31, 2015 , was 31.8% and 27.6% , respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended August 31, 2016 , and August 31, 2015 , was 31.7% and 24.2% , respectively. Our effective tax rates for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2016 , were lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses. Our effective tax rates for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2015 , were lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to decreases in uncertain tax positions and lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses. During the three months ended August 31, 2015, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) concluded its examination of our fiscal years ended February 28, 2010, and February 28, 2011. We received a Revenue Agent’s Report (“RAR”) from the IRS proposing tax assessments for those years. We disagree with certain assessments in this report and have submitted a written protest stating our formal disagreement with the conclusions presented in the RAR. We believe that our position will be successfully sustained.

Business Segment Information

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION	BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION: Our internal management financial reporting consists of two business divisions: (i) Beer and (ii) Wine and Spirits, and we report our operating results in three segments: (i) Beer, (ii) Wine and Spirits, and (iii) Corporate Operations and Other. In the Beer segment, our portfolio consists of high-end imported and craft beer brands. We have an exclusive perpetual brand license to import, market and sell in the U.S. our Mexican beer portfolio. In the Wine and Spirits segment, we sell a large number of wine brands across all categories – table wine, sparkling wine and dessert wine – and across all price points – popular, premium and luxury categories, primarily within the $5 to $25 price range at U.S. retail – complemented by certain premium spirits brands. Amounts included in the Corporate Operations and Other segment consist of costs of executive management, corporate development, corporate finance, human resources, internal audit, investor relations, legal, public relations and information technology. The amounts included in the Corporate Operations and Other segment are general costs that are applicable to the consolidated group and are therefore not allocated to the other reportable segments. All costs reported within the Corporate Operations and Other segment are not included in our chief operating decision maker’s evaluation of the operating income performance of the other reportable segments. The business segments reflect how our operations are managed, how resources are allocated, how operating performance is evaluated by senior management and the structure of our internal financial reporting. In addition, management excludes items that affect comparability (“Comparable Adjustments”) from its evaluation of the results of each operating segment as these Comparable Adjustments are not reflective of core operations of the segments. Segment operating performance and segment management compensation are evaluated based upon core segment operating income (loss). As such, the performance measures for incentive compensation purposes for segment management do not include the impact of these items. We evaluate segment operating performance based on operating income (loss) of the respective business units. Comparable Adjustments that impacted comparability in our segment operating income (loss) for each period are as follows: For the Six Months Ended August 31, For the Three Months Ended August 31, 2016 2015 2016 2015 (in millions) Cost of product sold Settlements of undesignated commodity derivative contracts $ 15.1 $ 12.2 $ 6.8 $ 6.7 Net gain (loss) on undesignated commodity derivative contracts 7.7 (16.4 ) (5.4 ) (11.2 ) Flow through of inventory step-up (11.5 ) (1.2 ) (3.4 ) (1.2 ) Amortization of favorable interim supply agreement (2.2 ) (17.9 ) — (9.0 ) Total cost of product sold 9.1 (23.3 ) (2.0 ) (14.7 ) Selling, general and administrative expenses Costs associated with a potential initial public offering (8.1 ) — (4.4 ) — Transaction, integration and other acquisition-related costs (5.3 ) (10.8 ) (3.0 ) (5.5 ) Restructuring and related charges (1.0 ) (14.3 ) 0.1 (1.3 ) Total selling, general and administrative expenses (14.4 ) (25.1 ) (7.3 ) (6.8 ) Comparable Adjustments, Operating loss $ (5.3 ) $ (48.4 ) $ (9.3 ) $ (21.5 ) The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described for the Company in Note 1 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2016 Annual Report.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE NOT YET ADOPTED	ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE NOT YET ADOPTED: Revenue recognition – In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. Under this guidance, an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. A five step process will be utilized to recognize revenue, as follows: (i) identify the contract with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Additionally, this guidance requires improved disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. We are required to adopt this guidance for our annual and interim periods beginning March 1, 2018, utilizing one of two methods: retrospective restatement for each reporting period presented at time of adoption, or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this guidance recognized at the date of initial application. We are currently assessing the financial impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements. Leases – In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance for the accounting for leases. Under this guidance, a lessee will recognize assets and liabilities for most leases, but will recognize expense similar to current lease accounting guidance. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. We are required to adopt this guidance for our annual and interim periods beginning March 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently assessing the financial impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements. Stock compensation – In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance for the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payment transactions. The guidance requires, among other things, the recognition of the income tax effect of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, thereby eliminating the recording of the income tax effect in additional paid-in capital. The guidance also requires cash flows from excess tax benefits along with other income tax cash flows to be classified as cash flows from operating activities. We are required to adopt this guidance for our annual and interim periods beginning March 1, 2017. We are currently assessing the financial impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
