Accounting Policies [Abstract]
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of business – Constellation Brands, Inc. and its subsidiaries operate primarily in the beverage alcohol industry. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Company,” “CBI,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Constellation Brands, Inc. and its subsidiaries. We are an international beverage alcohol company with a broad portfolio of consumer-preferred high-end imported and craft beer brands, and premium wine and spirits brands. Basis of presentation – Principles of consolidation: Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and our majority-owned and controlled domestic and foreign subsidiaries. In addition, we have an equally-owned joint venture with Owens-Illinois. The joint venture owns and operates a state-of-the-art glass production plant which provides bottles exclusively for our brewery located in Nava, Coahuila, Mexico (the “Nava Brewery”). We have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of this variable interest entity and accordingly, the results of operations of the joint venture are reported in the Beer segment and are included in our consolidated results of operations. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Equity method investments: If we are not required to consolidate our investment in another entity, we use the equity method when we (i) can exercise significant influence over the other entity and (ii) hold common stock and/or in-substance common stock of the other entity. Under the equity method, investments are carried at cost, plus or minus our equity in the increases and decreases in the investee’s net assets after the date of acquisition. Dividends received from the investee reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Management’s use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Summary of significant accounting policies – Revenue recognition: We record revenue (referred to in our financial statements as “sales”) when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery is not considered to have occurred until risk of loss passes to the customer according to the terms of the contract between us and our customer. Risk of loss is usually transferred upon shipment to or receipt at our customers’ locations, as determined by the specific sales terms of the transactions. Our sales terms do not allow for a right of return except for matters related to any manufacturing defects on our part. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included in sales. Sales reflect reductions attributable to consideration given to customers in various customer incentive programs, including pricing discounts on single transactions, volume discounts, promotional and advertising allowances, coupons and rebates (see “Accounting guidance not yet adopted – Revenue recognition” below). Excise taxes remitted to governmental tax authorities are shown on a separate line item as a reduction of sales. Excise taxes are recognized in our results of operations when the related sale is recorded. Cost of product sold: The types of costs included in cost of product sold are raw materials, packaging materials, manufacturing costs, plant administrative support and overheads, and freight and warehouse costs (including distribution network costs). Distribution network costs include inbound freight charges and outbound shipping and handling costs, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing and internal transfer costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses: The types of costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses consist predominately of advertising and non-manufacturing administrative and overhead costs. Distribution network costs are included in cost of product sold. We expense advertising costs as incurred, shown or distributed. Advertising expense for the years ended February 28, 2018 , February 28, 2017 , and February 29, 2016 , was $615.7 million , $552.8 million and $468.3 million , respectively. Foreign currency translation: The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is generally the respective local currency. The translation from the applicable foreign currencies to U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI”). Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency denominated transactions are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Cash and cash equivalents: Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity when purchased of three months or less and are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Fair value of financial instruments: We calculate the estimated fair value of financial instruments using quoted market prices whenever available. When quoted market prices are not available, we use standard pricing models for various types of financial instruments (such as forwards, options and swaps) which take into account the present value of estimated future cash flows (see Note 7 ). Derivative instruments: We enter into derivative instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. We enter into derivatives for risk management purposes only, including derivatives designated in hedge accounting relationships as well as those derivatives utilized as economic hedges. We do not enter into derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at estimated fair value (see Note 6 , Note 7 ). We present our derivative positions gross on our balance sheets. Changes in fair values (to the extent of hedge effectiveness) of outstanding cash flow hedges are deferred in stockholders’ equity as a component of AOCI. These deferred gains or losses are recognized in our results of operations in the same period in which the hedged items are recognized and on the same financial statement line item as the hedged items. Any ineffectiveness associated with these derivative instruments is recognized immediately in our results of operations. Effective March 1, 2018, we adopted FASB guidance which amends, among other items, the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness for outstanding cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the entire change in the fair value of outstanding cash flow hedges are deferred in stockholders’ equity as a component of AOCI prospectively from the date of adoption. Changes in fair values for derivative instruments not designated in a hedge accounting relationship are recognized directly in our results of operations each period and on the same financial statement line item as the hedged item. For purposes of measuring segment operating performance, the net gain (loss) from the changes in fair value of our undesignated commodity derivative contracts, prior to settlement, is reported outside of segment operating results until such time that the underlying exposure is recognized in the segment operating results. Upon settlement, the net gain (loss) from the changes in fair value of the undesignated commodity derivative contracts is reported in the appropriate operating segment, allowing our operating segment results to reflect the economic effects of the commodity derivative contracts without the resulting unrealized mark to fair value volatility. Cash flows from the settlement of derivatives, including both economic hedges and those designated in hedge accounting relationships, appear on our statements of cash flows in the same categories as the cash flows of the hedged items. Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (primarily computed in accordance with the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Elements of cost include materials, labor and overhead. Bulk wine inventories are included as in-process inventories within current assets, in accordance with the general practices of the wine industry, although a portion of such inventories may be aged for periods greater than one year. A substantial portion of barreled whiskey and brandy will not be sold within one year because of the duration of the aging process. All barreled whiskey and brandy are classified as in-process inventories and are included in current assets, in accordance with industry practice. Warehousing, insurance, ad valorem taxes and other carrying charges applicable to barreled whiskey and brandy held for aging are included in inventory costs. We assess the valuation of our inventories and reduce the carrying value of those inventories that are obsolete or in excess of our forecasted usage to their estimated net realizable value based on analyses and assumptions including, but not limited to, historical usage, future demand and market requirements. Property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Major additions and improvements are recorded as an increase to the property accounts, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the balance sheet accounts at the time of disposal and resulting gains and losses are included as a component of operating income. Depreciation: Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Years Land improvements 15 to 32 Vineyards 16 to 26 Buildings and improvements 10 to 50 Machinery and equipment 3 to 35 Motor vehicles 3 to 7 Goodwill and other intangible assets: Goodwill is allocated to the reporting unit in which the business that created the goodwill resides. A reporting unit is an operating segment, or a business unit one level below that operating segment, for which discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by segment management. We review our goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets annually for impairment, or sooner, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We use January 1 as our annual impairment test measurement date. Indefinite lived intangible assets consist principally of trademarks. Intangible assets determined to have a finite life, primarily customer relationships, are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are subject to review for impairment in accordance with authoritative guidance for long-lived assets. Note 9 provides a summary of intangible assets segregated between amortizable and nonamortizable amounts. Indemnification liabilities: We have indemnified respective parties against certain liabilities that may arise in connection with certain acquisitions and divestitures. Indemnification liabilities are recognized when probable and estimable and included in other liabilities (see Note 14 ). Income taxes: We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. This method accounts for deferred income taxes by applying statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. We provide for taxes that may be payable if undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries were to be remitted to the U.S., except for those earnings that we consider to be indefinitely reinvested (see Note 13). Interest and penalties are recognized as a component of provision for income taxes. Net income per common share attributable to CBI: We have two classes of common stock with a material number of shares outstanding: Class A Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock (see Note 15 ). In addition, we have another class of common stock with an immaterial number of shares outstanding: Class 1 Common Stock (see Note 15 ). If we pay a cash dividend on Class B Convertible Common Stock, each share of Class A Common Stock will receive an amount at least ten percent greater than the amount of the cash dividend per share paid on Class B Convertible Common Stock. Class B Convertible Common Stock shares are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-to-one basis at any time at the option of the holder. We use the two-class method for the computation and presentation of net income per common share attributable to CBI (hereafter referred to as “net income per common share”) (see Note 17 ). The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that calculates basic and diluted net income per common share for each class of common stock separately based on dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period. Under the two-class method, Class A Common Stock is assumed to receive a ten percent greater participation in undistributed earnings than Class B Convertible Common Stock, in accordance with the respective minimum dividend rights of each class of stock. Net income per common share – basic excludes the effect of common stock equivalents and is computed using the two-class method. Net income per common share – diluted for Class A Common Stock reflects the potential dilution that could result if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Net income per common share – diluted for Class A Common Stock is computed using the more dilutive of the if-converted or two-class method. Net income per common share – diluted for Class A Common Stock is computed using the if-converted method and assumes the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method and the conversion of Class B Convertible Common Stock as this method is more dilutive than the two-class method. Net income per common share – diluted for Class B Convertible Common Stock is computed using the two-class method and does not assume conversion of Class B Convertible Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock. Stock-based employee compensation: We have two stock-based employee compensation plans (see Note 16 ). We apply a grant date fair-value-based measurement method in accounting for our stock-based payment arrangements and record all costs resulting from stock-based payment transactions ratably over the requisite service period. Stock-based awards are subject to specific vesting conditions, generally time vesting, or upon retirement, disability or death of the employee (as defined by the plan), if earlier. For awards granted to retirement-eligible employees, we recognize compensation expense ratably over the period from the date of grant to the date of retirement-eligibility. Recently adopted accounting guidance – Stock-based employee compensation: Effective March 1, 2017, we adopted the FASB amended guidance for, among other items, the accounting for income taxes related to share-based compensation and the related classification in the statement of cash flows. This guidance requires the recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies (resulting from an increase or decrease in the fair value of an award from grant date to the vesting or settlement date) in the provision for income taxes as a discrete item in the quarterly period in which they occur. Through February 28, 2017, these amounts were recognized in additional paid-in capital at the time of vesting or settlement. Additionally, effective March 1, 2017, excess tax benefits are classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows instead of as a financing activity where they were previously presented. We adopted this guidance on a prospective basis and, accordingly, prior periods have not been adjusted. Adoption of this guidance resulted in the recognition of excess tax benefits in our provision for income taxes rather than additional paid-in capital of $68.6 million for the year ended February 28, 2018 . The adoption of this amended guidance also impacted our calculation of diluted earnings per share under the treasury stock method, as excess tax benefits and deficiencies resulting from share-based compensation are no longer included in the assumed proceeds calculation. This change in the assumed proceeds calculation resulted in a decrease in diluted earnings per share of $0.07 for the year ended February 28, 2018 . We have elected to continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur to determine the amount of compensation cost to be recognized in each period. The remaining provisions of this amended guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. 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. Additionally, this guidance requires improved disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. We adopted this guidance on March 1, 2018, using the retrospective application method to allow for consistent reporting in all comparable periods throughout Fiscal 2019. We have completed changes to our accounting policies, systems and controls to support the new revenue recognition and disclosure requirements. Based on our analysis, the broad definition of variable consideration under this guidance requires us to estimate and record certain variable payments resulting from various sales incentives earlier than we have historically recorded them. This change in the timing of when we recognize sales incentive expenses will shift net sales recognition between our fiscal quarters; however, the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our full year net sales recognition. Under the retrospective application method, we will recognize the cumulative impact of adopting this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 with a reduction to our March 1, 2016, opening retained earnings of approximately $50 million , net of income tax effect, with an offsetting increase to current accrued promotion expense and the recognition of a deferred tax asset to align the timing of when we recognize sales incentive expense and when we recognize revenue. 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. Income taxes: In October 2016, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. Under this guidance, an entity is required to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Current guidance prohibits the recognition in earnings of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to an outside party or recovered through use. We adopted this guidance on March 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective basis, which requires a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Based on our assessment of intra-entity asset transfers that are in scope and the related deferred income taxes, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we will recognize a net increase in our March 1, 2018, opening retained earnings and deferred tax assets of approximately $2.2 billion , primarily in connection with the intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property related to our imported beer business for the year ended February 28, 2018.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURE	ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURE: Acquisitions – Obregon Brewery: In December 2016, we acquired a brewery operation business in Obregon, Sonora, Mexico from Grupo Modelo, S. de R.L. de C.V., formerly known as Grupo Modelo, S.A.B. de C.V., (“Modelo”), a subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV for cash paid of $569.7 million , net of cash acquired (the “Obregon Brewery”). The transaction primarily included the acquisition of operations; goodwill; property, plant and equipment; and inventories. This acquisition provided us with immediate functioning brewery capacity to support our fast-growing, high-end Mexican beer portfolio and flexibility for future innovation initiatives. It also enabled us to become fully independent from an interim supply agreement with Modelo, which was terminated at the time of this acquisition. The results of operations of the Obregon Brewery are reported in the Beer segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. Charles Smith: In October 2016, we acquired the Charles Smith Wines, LLC business, a collection of five super and ultra-premium wine brands, for $120.8 million (“Charles Smith”). This transaction primarily included the acquisition of goodwill, trademarks, inventories and certain grape supply contracts, plus an earn-out over three years based on the performance of the brands. The results of operations of Charles Smith are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. High West: In October 2016, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common and preferred membership interests of High West Holdings, LLC for $136.6 million , net of cash acquired (“High West”). This transaction primarily included the acquisition of operations, goodwill, trademarks, inventories and property, plant and equipment. This acquisition included a portfolio of craft whiskeys and other select spirits. The results of operations of High West are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. Prisoner: In April 2016, we acquired The Prisoner Wine Company business, including a portfolio of five super-luxury wine brands, for $284.9 million (“Prisoner”).

Ballast Point: In December 2015, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common and preferred stock of Home Brew Mart, Inc. d/b/a/ Ballast Point Brewing & Spirits (“Ballast Point”). The following table summarizes the allocation of the estimated fair value for the significant assets acquired: (in millions) Goodwill $ 763.2 Trademarks (see Note 7) 222.8 Other 14.0 Total estimated fair value 1,000.0 Less – cash acquired (1.5 ) Purchase price $ 998.5 Goodwill associated with the acquisition is primarily attributable to the future growth opportunities associated with the acquisition of a premium platform that enables us to compete in the growing craft beer category and further strengthened our position in the high-end segment of the U.S. beer market. 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. Meiomi: In August 2015, we acquired the Meiomi wine business, including the acquisition of a higher-margin, luxury growth pinot noir brand, for $316.2 million (“Meiomi”). This transaction primarily included the acquisition of goodwill, inventories, the trademark and certain grape supply contracts. The results of operations of Meiomi are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. Other Acquisitions: During the year ended February 28, 2018, we completed the acquisitions of other businesses, including the Funky Buddha Brewery LLC business, which included a portfolio of high-quality, Florida-based craft beers (“Funky Buddha”), and the Schrader Cellars, LLC business, which included a collection of highly-rated, limited-production fine wines (“Schrader Cellars”). The total combined purchase price for these acquisitions was $149.1 million . The purchase price for each acquisition was primarily allocated to goodwill and trademarks. In addition, the purchase price for Funky Buddha includes an earn-out over five years based on the performance of the brands. The results of operations of these acquired brands are reported in the appropriate segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from their respective date of acquisition. Divestiture – Canadian Divestiture: In December 2016, we sold the Wine and Spirits Canadian wine business, which included Canadian wine brands such as Jackson-Triggs and Inniskillin, wineries, vineyards, offices, facilities and Wine Rack retail stores, at a transaction value of C$1.03 billion , or $775.1 million (the “Canadian Divestiture”). We received cash proceeds of $570.3 million , net of outstanding debt and direct costs to sell of $194.9 million and $9.9 million , respectively. The following table summarizes the net gain recognized in connection with this divestiture: (in millions) Cash received from buyer $ 580.2 Net assets sold (175.3 ) AOCI reclassification adjustments, primarily foreign currency translation (122.5 ) Direct costs to sell (9.9 ) Other (10.1 ) Gain on sale of business $ 262.4 Additionally, our Wine and Spirits U.S. business recognized an impairment of $8.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 for trademarks associated with certain U.S. brands sold exclusively through the Canadian wine business for which we expected future sales of these brands to be minimal subsequent to the Canadian Divestiture. We have also recognized $15.2 million of other costs associated with the Canadian Divestiture, with $12.0 million recognized for the year ended February 28, 2017, primarily in connection with the evaluation of the merits of executing an initial public offering for a portion of our then-owned Canadian wine business, and $3.2 million recognized for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 in connection with the sale of the Canadian wine business. These amounts are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. In total, we have recognized $238.8 million of net gains associated with the Canadian Divestiture, with $242.0 million of net gains recognized for the year ended February 28, 2017, and $3.2 million of net losses recognized for the year ended February 28, 2018, as follows: (in millions) Gain on sale of business $ 262.4 Impairment of trademarks (8.4 ) Other net costs (15.2 ) Net gain associated with the Canadian Divestiture and related activities $ 238.8

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS: Overview – We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates that could affect our results of operations and financial condition. The impact on our results and financial position and the amounts reported in our financial statements will vary based upon the currency, commodity and interest rate market movements during the period, the effectiveness and level of derivative instruments outstanding and whether they are designated and qualify for hedge accounting. The estimated fair values of our derivative instruments change with fluctuations in currency rates, commodity prices and/or interest rates and are expected to offset changes in the values of the underlying exposures. Our derivative instruments are held solely to manage our exposures to the aforementioned market risks as part of our normal business operations. We follow strict policies to manage these risks and do not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The aggregate notional value of outstanding derivative instruments is as follows: February 28, 2018 February 28, 2017 (in millions ) Derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments Foreign currency contracts $ 1,465.4 $ 981.7 Interest rate swap contracts $ — $ 250.0 Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments Foreign currency contracts $ 440.6 $ 389.9 Commodity derivative contracts $ 177.5 $ 153.2 Cash flow hedges – Our derivative instruments designated in hedge accounting relationships are designated as cash flow hedges. We are exposed to foreign denominated cash flow fluctuations primarily in connection with third party and intercompany sales and purchases. We primarily use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge certain of these risks. In addition, we utilize interest rate swap contracts periodically to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates. Derivatives managing our cash flow exposures generally mature within three years or less, with a maximum maturity of five years . To qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the details of the hedging relationship must be formally documented at inception of the arrangement, including the risk management objective, hedging strategy, hedged item, specific risk that is being hedged, the derivative instrument, how effectiveness is being assessed and how ineffectiveness will be measured. The derivative must be highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the risk being hedged. Throughout the term of the designated cash flow hedge relationship on at least a quarterly basis, a retrospective evaluation and prospective assessment of hedge effectiveness is performed based on quantitative and qualitative measures. All components of our derivative instruments’ gains or losses are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Resulting ineffectiveness, if any, is recognized immediately in our results of operations. When we determine that a derivative instrument which qualified for hedge accounting treatment has ceased to be highly effective as a hedge, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively. In the event the relationship is no longer effective, we recognize the change in the fair value of the hedging derivative instrument from the date the hedging derivative instrument became no longer effective immediately in our results of operations. We also discontinue hedge accounting prospectively when (i) a derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; (ii) it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur; or (iii) we determine that designating the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate. When we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively, but the original forecasted transaction continues to be probable of occurring, the existing gain or loss of the derivative instrument remains in AOCI and is reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction occurs. When it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur, any remaining gain or loss in AOCI is recognized immediately in our results of operations. We expect $10.0 million of net gains, net of income tax effect, to be reclassified from AOCI to our results of operations within the next 12 months. Undesignated hedges – Certain of our derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment; for others, we choose not to maintain the required documentation to apply hedge accounting treatment. These undesignated instruments are primarily used to economically hedge our exposure to fluctuations in the value of foreign currency denominated receivables and payables; foreign currency investments, primarily consisting of loans to subsidiaries, and cash flows related primarily to the repatriation of those loans or investments; and commodity prices, primarily consisting of aluminum, natural gas and diesel fuel prices. We primarily use foreign currency forward and option contracts, generally less than 12 months in duration, and commodity swap contracts, generally less than 36 months in duration, with a maximum maturity of five years , to hedge some of these risks. Our derivative policy permits the use of undesignated derivatives as approved by senior management. 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 February 28, 2018 , the estimated fair value of derivative instruments in a net liability position due to counterparties was $3.7 million . If we were required to settle the net liability position under these derivative instruments on February 28, 2018 , we would have had sufficient 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 7 ): Assets Liabilities February 28, 2018 February 28, 2017 February 28, 2018 February 28, 2017 (in millions) Derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments Foreign currency contracts: Prepaid expenses and other $ 21.2 $ 5.2 Other accrued expenses and liabilities $ 7.8 $ 30.4 Other assets $ 17.0 $ 6.0 Other liabilities $ 9.9 $ 37.4 Interest rate swap contracts: Prepaid expenses and other $ — $ 0.3 Other accrued expenses and liabilities $ — $ 0.3 Other assets $ — $ 4.4 Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments Foreign currency contracts: Prepaid expenses and other $ 2.1 $ 2.0 Other accrued expenses and liabilities $ 2.2 $ 2.6 Commodity derivative contracts: Prepaid expenses and other $ 6.3 $ 4.3 Other accrued expenses and liabilities $ 3.0 $ 6.9 Other assets $ 2.8 $ 1.5 Other liabilities $ 2.6 $ 4.7 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 Year Ended February 28, 2018 Foreign currency contracts $ 58.4 Sales $ (1.4 ) Cost of product sold 1.3 Interest rate swap contracts (1.5 ) Interest expense 2.2 $ 56.9 $ 2.1 For the Year Ended February 28, 2017 Foreign currency contracts $ (25.8 ) Sales $ 1.1 Cost of product sold (28.3 ) Interest rate swap contracts 2.8 Interest expense (4.0 ) $ (23.0 ) $ (31.2 ) For the Year Ended February 29, 2016 Foreign currency contracts $ (41.7 ) Sales $ 2.1 Cost of product sold (20.0 ) Interest rate swap contracts (1.6 ) Interest expense (8.1 ) $ (43.3 ) $ (26.0 ) 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 Year Ended February 28, 2018 Commodity derivative contracts Cost of product sold $ 7.5 Foreign currency contracts Selling, general and administrative expenses 6.0 $ 13.5 For the Year Ended February 28, 2017 Commodity derivative contracts Cost of product sold $ 16.3 Foreign currency contracts Selling, general and administrative expenses (26.1 ) $ (9.8 ) For the Year Ended February 29, 2016 Commodity derivative contracts Cost of product sold $ (48.1 ) Foreign currency contracts Selling, general and administrative expenses (21.1 ) Interest rate swap contracts Interest expense (0.1 ) $ (69.3 )

Fair Value of Financial Instrum

Fair Value of Financial Instruments	12 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: Authoritative guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value, including 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 following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value for each class of our financial instruments: Foreign currency and commodity derivative contracts: The fair value is estimated using market-based inputs, obtained from independent pricing services, into valuation models. These valuation models require various inputs, including contractual terms, market foreign exchange prices, market commodity prices, interest-rate yield curves and currency volatilities, as applicable (Level 2 fair value measurement). Interest rate swap contracts: The fair value is estimated based on quoted market prices from respective counterparties. Quotes are corroborated by using discounted cash flow calculations based upon forward interest-rate yield curves, which are obtained from independent pricing services (Level 2 fair value measurement). Equity securities, Trading (with the intent of holding more than one year): In November 2017, we acquired (i) a 9.9% investment in Ontario, Canada-based Canopy Growth Corporation, a public company and leading provider of medicinal cannabis products (the “Canopy Investment”), and (ii) warrants which give us the option to purchase an additional ownership interest in Canopy Growth Corporation (the “Canopy Warrants”) for C$245.0 million , or $191.3 million . The Canopy Warrants expire in May 2020 . For the year ended February 28, 2018 , we recognized an unrealized gain of $464.3 million from the changes in fair value of the Canopy Investment and the Canopy Warrants, which is included in income from unconsolidated investments. The fair value of the Canopy Investment is calculated by using the closing market price of the underlying equity security (Level 1 fair value measurement). The fair value of the Canopy Warrants is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (Level 2 fair value measurement). The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the Canopy Warrants as of February 28, 2018 , are as follows: Expected life (1) 2.2 years Expected volatility (2) 70.9 % Risk-free interest rate (3) 1.8 % Expected dividend yield (4) 0.0 % (1) Based on the expiration date of the warrants. (2) Based on historical volatility levels of the underlying equity security. (3) Based on the implied yield currently available on Canadian Treasury zero coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life. (4) Based on historical dividend levels. Debt securities, Available-for-sale (“AFS”) : The fair value is estimated by discounting cash flows using market-based inputs (Level 3 fair value measurement) (see “Subsequent event” below). Short-term borrowings: The revolving credit facility under our senior credit facility is a variable interest rate bearing note which includes a fixed margin which is adjustable based upon our debt ratio (as defined in our senior credit facility). Its fair value is estimated by discounting cash flows using LIBOR plus a margin reflecting current market conditions obtained from participating member financial institutions (Level 2 fair value measurement). The remaining instruments, including our commercial paper and accounts receivable securitization facilities, are variable interest rate bearing notes for which the carrying value approximates the fair value. Long-term debt: The term loan under our senior credit facility is a variable interest rate bearing note which includes a fixed margin which is adjustable based upon our debt ratio. The fair value of the term loan is estimated by discounting cash flows using LIBOR plus a margin reflecting current market conditions obtained from participating member financial institutions (Level 2 fair value measurement). The fair value of the remaining long-term debt, which is primarily fixed interest rate, is estimated by discounting cash flows using interest rates currently available for debt with similar terms and maturities (Level 2 fair value measurement). The carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings, approximate fair value as of February 28, 2018 , and February 28, 2017 , due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As of February 28, 2018 , the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $9,439.9 million , compared with an estimated fair value of $9,398.4 million .

These negative trends were the result of (i) a disruption in our distribution network transition plan, (ii) an unexpected decrease in sales from product innovations and (iii) a significant shift in market conditions for our craft beer portfolio, all of which resulted in a decline in net sales and depletion trends, which represent distributor shipments of our branded products to retail customers, for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017, following consecutive quarters of significant net sales and depletion volume growth for our craft beer portfolio. Additionally, net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 were below our forecasted net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Accordingly, we performed a quantitative assessment for impairment of the craft beer trademark asset. As a result of this assessment, the craft beer trademark asset with a carrying value of $222.8 million was written down to its estimated fair value of $136.0 million , resulting in an impairment of $86.8 million . This impairment is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, in connection with our continued focus on the premiumization of our branded wine and spirits portfolio, a decision was made to discontinue certain small-scale, low-margin U.S. brands within our Wine and Spirits’ portfolio. As a result, trademarks with a carrying value of $37.6 million were written down to their estimated fair value, resulting in an impairment of $37.6 million . In addition, in connection with the Canadian Divestiture in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, trademarks with a carrying value of $8.4 million were written down to their estimated fair value, resulting in an impairment of $8.4 million . These trademarks were associated with certain U.S. brands within our Wine and Spirits’ portfolio sold exclusively through the Canadian wine business, for which we expected future sales of these brands to be minimal subsequent to the Canadian Divestiture. When performing a quantitative assessment for impairment of a trademark asset, we measure the amount of impairment by calculating the amount by which the carrying value of the trademark asset exceeds its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value is determined based on an income approach using the relief from royalty method, which assumes that, in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of the trademark asset. The cash flow projections we use to estimate the fair value of our trademarks involve several assumptions, including (i) projected revenue growth rates, (ii) estimated royalty rates, (iii) after-tax royalty savings expected from ownership of the trademarks and (iv) discount rates used to derive the estimated fair value of the trademarks.

The principal changes effected by the March 2016 Restatement Agreement were: • The creation of a new $700.0 million European Term A-1 loan facility maturing on March 10, 2021; • An increase of the European revolving commitment under the revolving credit facility by $425.0 million to $1.0 billion ; • The addition of CIHH as a new borrower under the new European Term A-1 loan facility and the European revolving commitment; and • The entry into a cross-guarantee agreement by CIH and CIHH whereby each guarantees the other’s obligations under the March 2016 Credit Agreement. In October 2016, the Company, CIH, CIHH, CB International Finance S.à r.l., a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of ours (“CB International” and together with CIH and CIHH, the “2016 European Borrowers”), the Administrative Agent, and certain other lenders entered into a Restatement Agreement (the “2016 Restatement Agreement”) that amended and restated the March 2016 Credit Agreement (as amended and restated by the 2016 Restatement Agreement, the “2016 Credit Agreement”). The principal changes effected by the 2016 Restatement Agreement were: • The creation of a new $400.0 million European Term A-2 loan facility with CIH as the borrower, maturing on March 10, 2021; • An adjustment of the Incremental Facilities (as defined below) from a fixed amount to a flexible amount; • The addition of CB International as a new borrower under the European revolving commitment; and • The entry into an amended and restated cross-guarantee agreement by the 2016 European Borrowers whereby each guarantees the others’ obligations under the 2016 Credit Agreement. In May 2017, we repaid the outstanding obligations under the U.S. Term A loan facility under the 2016 Credit Agreement primarily with a portion of the proceeds from the May 2017 senior notes and revolver borrowings under the 2016 Credit Agreement. In July 2017, the Company, CIH, CB International (together with CIH, the “European Borrowers”), CIHH, the Administrative Agent, and certain other lenders entered into a Restatement Agreement (the “2017 Restatement Agreement”) that amended and restated the 2016 Credit Agreement (as amended and restated by the 2017 Restatement Agreement, the “2017 Credit Agreement”). The principal changes effected by the 2017 Restatement Agreement were: • The refinance and increase of the existing U.S. Term A-1 loan facility with a new $500.0 million U.S. Term A-1 loan facility and extension of its maturity to July 14, 2024; • The creation of a new $2.0 billion European Term A loan facility into which the then existing European Term A loan facility, European Term A-1 loan facility and European Term A-2 loan facility were combined; • The increase of the revolving credit facility by $350.0 million to $1.5 billion and extension of its maturity to July 14, 2022; and • The removal of CIHH as a borrower under the 2017 Restatement Agreement. In addition, the Company and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries executed an amended and restated guarantee agreement which, among other things, released certain of our U.S. subsidiaries as guarantors of borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement. Furthermore, the European Borrowers executed an amended and restated cross-guarantee agreement which, among other things, removed CIHH as a party to the amended and restated cross-guarantee agreement. The U.S. obligations under the 2017 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of our U.S. subsidiaries. The European obligations under the 2017 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by us and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries. The European obligations are cross-guaranteed by the European Borrowers whereby each guarantees the other’s obligations. In November 2017, we repaid the outstanding obligations under the European Term A loan facility under the 2017 Credit Agreement primarily with proceeds from the November 2017 senior notes. Accordingly, as of February 28, 2018 , the 2017 Credit Agreement provides for aggregate credit facilities of $2,000.0 million , consisting of the following: Amount Maturity (in millions) Revolving Credit Facility (1) (2) $ 1,500.0 July 14, 2022 U.S. Term A-1 Facility (1) (3) 500.0 July 14, 2024 $ 2,000.0 (1) Contractual interest rate varies based on our debt rating (as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement) and is a function of LIBOR plus a margin, or the base rate plus a margin. (2) Consists of a $190.0 million U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and a $1,310.0 million European Revolving Credit Facility. We are the borrower under the $1,500.0 million Revolving Credit Facility (inclusive of the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and the European Revolving Credit Facility). CIH and/or CB International are additional borrowers under the European Revolving Credit Facility. Includes two sub-facilities for letters of credit of up to $200.0 million in the aggregate. (3) We are the borrower under the U.S. Term A-1 loan facility. The 2017 Credit Agreement also permits us to elect, subject to the willingness of existing or new lenders to fund such increase or term loans and other customary conditions, to increase the revolving credit commitments or add one or more tranches of additional term loans (the “Incremental Facilities”). The Incremental Facilities may be an unlimited amount so long as our leverage ratio, as defined and computed pursuant to the 2017 Credit Agreement, is no greater than 4.00 to 1.00 subject to certain limitations for the period defined pursuant to the 2017 Credit Agreement. We and our subsidiaries are subject to covenants that are contained in the 2017 Credit Agreement, including those restricting the incurrence of additional indebtedness (including guarantees of indebtedness) by subsidiaries that are not guarantors, additional liens, mergers and consolidations, transactions with affiliates, and sale and leaseback transactions, in each case subject to numerous conditions, exceptions and thresholds. The financial covenants are limited to a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum net leverage ratio.

Commercial paper program – In October 2017, we implemented a commercial paper program which provides for the issuance of up to an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion of commercial paper. Our commercial paper program is backed by unused commitments under our revolving credit facility under our 2017 Credit Agreement. Accordingly, outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program reduce the amount available under our revolving credit facility under our 2017 Credit Agreement. As of February 28, 2018 , we had $266.9 million of outstanding borrowings, net of unamortized discount, under our commercial paper program with a weighted average annual interest rate of 2.1% and a weighted average remaining term of 10 days .

Indentures – Our indentures relating to our outstanding senior notes contain certain covenants, including, but not limited to: (i) a limitation on liens on certain assets, (ii) a limitation on certain sale and leaseback transactions, and (iii) restrictions on mergers, consolidations and the transfer of all or substantially all of our assets to another person. Subsidiary credit facilities – General: We have additional credit arrangements totaling $503.5 million and $442.8 million as of February 28, 2018 , and February 28, 2017 , respectively. As of February 28, 2018 , and February 28, 2017 , amounts outstanding under these arrangements were $277.0 million and $269.5 million , respectively, the majority of which is classified as long-term as of the respective date. These arrangements primarily support the financing needs of our domestic and foreign subsidiary operations, as well as our glass production plant joint venture (see “Other long-term debt”). Interest rates and other terms of these borrowings vary from country to country, depending on local market conditions. Other long-term debt: During the year ended February 28, 2017, we recorded an immaterial adjustment related to the prior period for the noncash conversion of $132.0 million from noncontrolling equity interests to long-term debt associated with a contractual agreement with our glass production plant joint venture partner, Owens-Illinois. As of February 28, 2018 , and February 28, 2017 , outstanding borrowings under this contractual agreement were $230.5 million and $183.5 million , respectively. Amounts outstanding under the contractual agreement are included in our consolidated balance sheet in accordance with our consolidation of this VIE. These borrowings have a maturity date of December 2064 with both a fixed and variable interest rate component. The variable interest rate is based upon certain performance measures as defined in the contractual agreement. As of February 28, 2018 , the weighted average interest rate for amounts outstanding under the contractual agreement was 4.3% . Debt payments – As of February 28, 2018 , the required principal repayments under long-term debt obligations (excluding unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized discounts of $63.6 million and $13.3 million , respectively) for each of the five succeeding fiscal years and thereafter are as follows: (in millions) 2019 $ 22.3 2020 1,016.1 2021 711.6 2022 507.5 2023 1,805.0 Thereafter 5,454.3 $ 9,516.8 Accounts receivable securitization facilities – We have a 364 -day revolving trade accounts receivable securitization facility (the “CBI Facility”), and Crown Imports, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of ours, has a 364 -day revolving trade accounts receivable securitization facility (the “Crown Facility”), both of which are amended annually, generally under substantially identical provisions in all material respects to the prior facilities. Under the CBI Facility, trade accounts receivable generated by us and certain of our subsidiaries are sold by us to our wholly-owned bankruptcy remote single purpose subsidiary (the “CBI SPV”), which is consolidated by us for financial reporting purposes. Under the Crown Facility, trade accounts receivable generated by Crown Imports are sold by Crown Imports to its wholly-owned bankruptcy remote single purpose subsidiary (the “Crown SPV”), which is consolidated by us for financial reporting purposes. These receivables have been pledged by the CBI SPV and the Crown SPV to secure borrowings under the CBI Facility and the Crown Facility, respectively, with such receivables serviced by us and Crown, respectively. The receivable balances related to the CBI Facility and the Crown Facility are reported as accounts receivable on our balance sheets, but the receivables are at all times owned by the CBI SPV and the Crown SPV, respectively, and are included on our financial statements as required by generally accepted accounting principles. Under both facilities, there are two lenders, one holding 60% of the aggregate facility and the other holding 40% of the aggregate facility. Borrowings under the CBI Facility and the Crown Facility are recorded as secured borrowings and bear interest as follows: (i) 60% of the borrowings are charged at that lender’s cost of funds plus a margin of 75 basis points and (ii) 40% of the borrowings are charged at one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 75 basis points. The CBI Facility provides borrowing capacity of $230.0 million up to $330.0 million structured to account for the seasonality of our business, subject to further limitations based upon various pre-agreed formulas. The Crown Facility provides borrowing capacity of $130.0 million up to $250.0 million structured to account for the seasonality of Crown Imports’ business. As of February 28, 2018 , our accounts receivable securitization facilities are as follows: Outstanding Borrowings Weighted Average Interest Rate Remaining Borrowing Capacity (in millions) CBI Facility $ 246.9 2.4 % $ 13.1 Crown Facility $ 145.0 2.4 % $ —

The TCJ Act significantly changes U.S. corporate income taxes by, among other items, lowering the federal statutory rate from 35% to 21%, eliminating certain deductions, changing how foreign earnings are subject to U.S. tax and imposing a mandatory one-time transition tax on accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. In December 2017, the SEC issued guidance related to the income tax accounting implications of the TCJ Act. This guidance provides a measurement period, which extends no longer than one year from the enactment date of the TCJ Act, during which a company may complete its accounting for the income tax implications of the TCJ Act. In accordance with this guidance, we recorded a provisional net income tax benefit of $363.0 million for the year ended February 28, 2018. This amount is comprised primarily of (i) a benefit of $323.0 million from the remeasurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities to the new, lower federal statutory rate and (ii) a benefit of $220.0 million from the reversal of deferred tax liabilities previously provided for unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries which were not considered to be indefinitely reinvested; partially offset by the recording of the mandatory one-time transition tax of $180.0 million on unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, we will reflect any adjustments to the recorded provisional amounts in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined. The TCJ Act also creates a new requirement that certain income earned by foreign subsidiaries (“GILTI”), must be included in U.S. gross income. The FASB allows an accounting policy election of either recognizing deferred taxes for temporary differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or recognizing such taxes as a current period expense when incurred. Our provisional net income tax benefit does not include deferred taxes relating to GILTI as we expect to recognize such differences as a current period tax when incurred. Due to the timing of the enactment and the complexity involved in applying the provisions of the TCJ Act, we have made reasonable estimates of the effects and, as previously noted, recorded provisional amounts in our financial statements as of and for the year ended February 28, 2018, based on currently available information. Specific to the provisional net income tax benefit recorded for the remeasurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, although the tax rate reduction is known, we have not collected certain information necessary to fully complete our analysis of the effect of the TCJ Act on the underlying deferred taxes. Specific to the provisional income tax expense for the mandatory one-time transition tax on unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, further analysis is required for certain foreign taxable earnings and profits and foreign tax credits, as well as an interpretive determination on the classification of certain cash equivalents. As we complete our analysis of the income tax effects of the TCJ Act and incorporate additional guidance that may be issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or other standard-setting bodies, we may identify additional income tax effects not reflected as of February 28, 2018, which may result in adjustment to the recorded provisional amounts in subsequent reporting periods as discrete adjustments to our income tax provision. Those adjustments may materially impact our provision for income taxes and effective tax rate in the period in which the adjustments are made. The accounting for the income tax effects of the TCJ Act will be completed no later than one year from the enactment date of the TCJ Act. Prior to the third quarter of fiscal 2017, we had historically provided deferred income taxes for the repatriation to the U.S. of earnings from our foreign subsidiaries. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, in connection with the agreement to divest the Canadian wine business and the ongoing Beer capacity expansion activities in Mexico, including the agreement to acquire the Obregon Brewery, we changed our assertion regarding our ability and intent to indefinitely reinvest unremitted earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries. Approximately $420 million of our earnings for the year ended February 28, 2017, and all future earnings for these foreign subsidiaries were expected to be indefinitely reinvested. Therefore, no deferred income taxes had been provided on these applicable unremitted earnings. Although we expect to continue to reinvest these foreign earnings, as the TCJ Act reduces the tax impact of repatriation, beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, we have provided deferred income taxes, consisting primarily of foreign withholding and state taxes, on all applicable unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. A reconciliation of the total tax provision (benefit) to the amount computed by applying the statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate to income before provision for (benefit from) income taxes is as follows: For the Years Ended February 28, 2018 February 28, 2017 February 29, 2016 Amount % of Pretax Income Amount % of Pretax Income Amount % of Pretax Income (in millions, except % of pretax income data) Income tax provision at statutory rate $ 766.9 32.7 % $ 732.7 35.0 % $ 525.4 35.0 % State and local income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit (1) 17.5 0.7 % 23.4 1.1 % 23.1 1.5 % Provisional net income tax benefit from TCJ Act (363.0 ) (15.5 %) — — % — — % Earnings of subsidiaries taxed at other than U.S. statutory rate (2) (319.1 ) (13.6 %) (160.4 ) (7.6 %) (101.2 ) (6.7 %) Excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation awards (3) (68.6 ) (2.9 %) — — % — — % Canadian Divestiture — — % (25.5 ) (1.2 %) — — % Miscellaneous items, net (21.8 ) (0.9 %) (16.0 ) (0.8 %) (6.7 ) (0.5 %) Income tax provision at effective rate $ 11.9 0.5 % $ 554.2 26.5 % $ 440.6 29.3 % (1) Consists of differences resulting from adjustments to the current and deferred state effective tax rates. (2) Consists of the difference between the U.S. statutory rate and local jurisdiction tax rates, as well as the provision for incremental U.S. taxes on unremitted earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries offset by foreign tax credits and other foreign adjustments. (3) Consists of the recognition of the income tax effect of stock-based compensation awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled as a result of our March 1, 2017, adoption of FASB amended share-based compensation guidance. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the future income tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income. Significant components of deferred tax assets (liabilities) consist of the following: February 28, 2018 February 28, 2017 (in millions) Deferred tax assets Loss carryforwards $ 106.0 $ 144.0 Stock-based compensation 29.1 43.2 Inventory 18.3 12.5 Other accruals 57.2 32.0 Gross deferred tax assets 210.6 231.7 Valuation allowances (112.1 ) (134.1 ) Deferred tax assets, net 98.5 97.6 Deferred tax liabilities Intangible assets (499.8 ) (720.6 ) Property, plant and equipment (197.8 ) (255.0 ) Investments in unconsolidated investees (78.2 ) (24.2 ) Provision for unremitted earnings (21.2 ) (229.3 ) Derivative instruments (19.8 ) (0.9 ) Total deferred tax liabilities (816.8 ) (1,230.0 ) Deferred tax liabilities, net $ (718.3 ) $ (1,132.4 ) In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making this assessment, we consider the projected reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income. Based upon this assessment, we believe it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of any valuation allowances. As of February 28, 2018 , operating loss carryforwards, which are primarily state and foreign, totaling $307.2 million are being carried forward in a number of jurisdictions where we are permitted to use tax operating losses from prior periods to reduce future taxable income. Of these operating loss carryforwards, $216.7 million will expire in fiscal 2019 through fiscal 2038 and $90.5 million of operating losses in certain jurisdictions may be carried forward indefinitely. Additionally, as of February 28, 2018 , federal capital losses totaling $269.5 million are being carried forward and will expire in fiscal 2022. We have recognized valuation allowances for operating loss carryforwards, capital loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets when we believe it is more likely than not that these items will not be realized. The decrease in our valuation allowances as of February 28, 2018 , primarily relates to the reduction in the federal statutory rate from 35% to 21% under the TCJ Act. The liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions, excluding interest and penalties, and a reconciliation of the beginning and ending unrecognized tax benefit liabilities is as follows: For the Years Ended February 28, 2018 February 28, 2017 February 29, 2016 (in millions) Balance as of March 1 $ 39.5 $ 30.4 $ 85.5 Increases as a result of tax positions taken during a prior period 7.5 — 0.1 Decreases as a result of tax positions taken during a prior period (0.1 ) (11.5 ) (1.2 ) Increases as a result of tax positions taken during the current period 43.8 21.3 3.7 Decreases related to settlements with tax authorities (0.4 ) — (54.7 ) Decreases related to lapse of applicable statute of limitations (1.0 ) (0.7 ) (3.0 ) Balance as of last day of February $ 89.3 $ 39.5 $ 30.4 As of February 28, 2018 , and February 28, 2017 , we had $93.7 million and $42.7 million , respectively, of non-current unrecognized tax benefit liabilities, including interest and penalties, recorded on our balance sheets. These liabilities are recorded as non-current as payment of cash is not anticipated within one year of the balance sheet date. As of February 28, 2018 , and February 28, 2017 , we had $89.3 million and $39.5 million , respectively, of unrecognized tax benefit liabilities that, if recognized, would decrease the effective tax rate. We file U.S. Federal income tax returns and various state, local and foreign income tax returns. Major tax jurisdictions where we are subject to examination by tax authorities include Canada, Luxembourg, Mexico, New Zealand and the U.S. Various U.S. Federal, state and foreign income tax examinations are currently in progress. It is reasonably possible that the liability associated with our unrecognized tax benefit liabilities will increase or decrease within the next twelve months as a result of these examinations or the expiration of statutes of limitation. As of February 28, 2018 , we estimate that unrecognized tax benefit liabilities could change by a range of $1 million to $79 million . With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. Federal, state, local or foreign income tax examinations for fiscal years prior to February 28, 2011. We provide for additional tax expense based on probable outcomes of ongoing tax examinations and assessments in various jurisdictions. While it is often difficult to predict the outcome or the timing of resolution of any tax matter, we believe the reserves reflect the probable outcome of known tax contingencies. Unfavorable settlement of any particular issue would require the use of cash. Favorable resolution would be recognized as a reduction to the effective tax rate in the year of resolution. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, we successfully concluded the IRS Appeals process related to certain issues under examination for our fiscal years ended February 28, 2010, and February 28, 2011, with no incremental liability. For other items that were effectively settled for the second quarter of fiscal 2016, we reduced our liability for uncertain tax positions and recorded a tax benefit of $31.9 million . In addition, during the year ended February 29, 2016, various U.S. state and international examinations were finalized. In total, tax benefits of $51.0 million were recorded for the year ended February 29, 2016, related to the resolution of certain tax positions in connection with those examinations and the expiration of statutes of limitation.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: Operating leases – The minimum lease payments for our operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease term. Step rent provisions, escalation clauses, capital improvement funding and other lease concessions, when present in our leases, are taken into account in computing the minimum lease payments. Future payments under noncancelable operating leases having initial or remaining terms of one year or more are as follows for each of the five succeeding fiscal years and thereafter: (in millions) 2019 $ 53.6 2020 53.7 2021 50.3 2022 44.0 2023 41.3 Thereafter 316.3 $ 559.2 Rental expense was $59.1 million , $59.2 million and $56.1 million for the years ended February 28, 2018 , February 28, 2017 , and February 29, 2016 , respectively. Purchase commitments and contingencies – We have entered into various long-term contracts in the normal course of business for the purchase of (i) certain inventory components, (ii) property, plant and equipment and related contractor and manufacturing services, (iii) processing and warehousing services and (iv) certain energy requirements. As of February 28, 2018 , the estimated aggregate minimum purchase obligations under these contracts are as follows: Type Length of Commitment Amount (in millions) Raw materials and supplies (1) Packaging, grapes and other raw materials through December 2031 $ 6,622.1 In-process inventories Bulk wine and spirits through February 2022 148.6 Capital expenditures (2) Property, plant and equipment, and contractor and manufacturing services through February 2022 590.3 Other Processing and warehousing services, energy contracts through May 2029 340.7 $ 7,701.7 (1) Certain grape purchasing arrangements include the purchase of grape production yielded from specified blocks of a vineyard. The actual tonnage and price of grapes that we purchase will vary each year depending on certain factors, including weather, time of harvest, overall market conditions and the agricultural practices and location of the vineyard. Amounts included herein for the estimated aggregate minimum grape purchase obligations consist of estimates for the purchase of the grapes and the implicit leases of the land. (2) Consists of purchase commitments entered into primarily in connection with the construction of a brewery located in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico, and the expansion projects for the Nava Brewery and the adjacent glass production plant. Additionally, we have entered into various contractual arrangements with affiliates of Owens-Illinois primarily for the purchase of glass bottles used largely in our imported and craft beer portfolios. Amounts purchased under these arrangements for the years ended February 28, 2018 , February 28, 2017 , and February 29, 2016 , were $316.6 million , $292.3 million and $162.5 million , respectively. Indemnification liabilities – In connection with a prior divestiture as well as with the Canadian Divestiture, we have indemnified respective parties against certain liabilities that may arise, including those related to certain income tax matters, certain contracts with certain investees of one of the divested businesses and a certain facility in the U.K. As of February 28, 2018 , and February 28, 2017 , the carrying amount of these indemnification liabilities was $12.8 million and $9.6 million , respectively, and is included in other liabilities. If the indemnified party were to incur a liability, pursuant to the terms of the indemnification, we would be required to reimburse the indemnified party. As of February 28, 2018 , we estimate that these indemnifications could require us to make potential future payments of up to $56.2 million under these indemnifications with $25.6 million of this amount able to be recovered by us from third parties under recourse provisions. We do not expect to be required to make material payments under the indemnifications and we believe that the likelihood is remote that the indemnifications could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity. Legal matters – In the course of our business, we are subject to litigation from time to time. Although the amount of any liability with respect to such litigation cannot be determined, in the opinion of management, such liability will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Other – In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, we recorded a loss of $19.1 million in connection with the write-down of certain bulk wine inventory as a result of smoke damage sustained during the Fall 2017 California wildfires. While we will pursue reimbursement from our insurance carriers, there can be no assurance there will be any potential recoveries.

Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders' Equity	12 Months Ended

Equity [Abstract]
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY	STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY: Common stock – We have two classes of common stock with a material number of shares outstanding: Class A Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock. Class B Convertible Common Stock shares are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-to-one basis at any time at the option of the holder. Holders of Class B Convertible Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share . Holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share and a cash dividend premium. If we pay a cash dividend on Class B Convertible Common Stock, each share of Class A Common Stock will receive an amount at least ten percent greater than the amount of the cash dividend per share paid on Class B Convertible Common Stock. In addition, the Board of Directors may declare and pay a dividend on Class A Common Stock without paying any dividend on Class B Convertible Common Stock. However, our senior credit facility limits the cash dividends that we can pay on our common stock to a fixed amount per quarter but the fixed amount may be exceeded subject to various conditions set forth in the senior credit facility. In addition, we have a class of common stock with an immaterial number of shares outstanding: Class 1 Common Stock. Shares of Class 1 Common Stock generally have no voting rights . Class 1 Common Stock shares are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-to-one basis at any time at the option of the holder, provided that the holder immediately sells the Class A Common Stock acquired upon conversion. Because shares of Class 1 Common Stock are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock, for each share of Class 1 Common Stock issued, we must reserve one share of Class A Common Stock for issuance upon the conversion of the share of Class 1 Common Stock. Holders of Class 1 Common Stock do not have any preference as to dividends, but may participate in any dividend if and when declared by the Board of Directors. If we pay a cash dividend on Class 1 Common Stock, each share of Class A Common Stock will receive an amount at least ten percent greater than the amount of cash dividend per share paid on Class 1 Common Stock. In addition, the Board of Directors may declare and pay a dividend on Class A Common Stock without paying a dividend on Class 1 Common Stock. The cash dividends declared and paid on Class B Convertible Common Stock and Class 1 Common Stock must always be the same. The number of shares of common stock issued and treasury stock, and associated share activity, are as follows: Common Stock Treasury Stock Class A Class B Class 1 Class A Class B Balance at February 28, 2015 250,839,359 28,389,608 — 79,681,859 5,005,800 Share repurchases — — — 246,143 — Conversion of shares 31,079 (31,079 ) — — — Exercise of stock options 4,687,588 — 2,000 — — Employee stock purchases — — — (89,155 ) — Grant of restricted stock awards — — — (4,984 ) — Vesting of restricted stock units (1) — — — (157,052 ) — Vesting of performance share units (2) — — — (223,044 ) — Cancellation of restricted shares — — — 244 — Balance at February 29, 2016 255,558,026 28,358,529 2,000 79,454,011 5,005,800 Share repurchases — — — 7,407,051 — Conversion of shares 2 (2 ) — — — Exercise of stock options 1,948,156 — 80 — — Employee stock purchases — — — (77,671 ) — Grant of restricted stock awards — — — (4,088 ) — Vesting of restricted stock units (1) — — — (325,773 ) — Vesting of performance share units (2) — — — (190,559 ) — Balance at February 28, 2017 257,506,184 28,358,527 2,080 86,262,971 5,005,800 Share repurchases — — — 4,810,061 — Conversion of shares 29,640 (23,140 ) (6,500 ) — — Exercise of stock options 1,182,532 — 6,390 — — Employee stock purchases — — — (75,023 ) — Grant of restricted stock awards — — — (3,848 ) — Vesting of restricted stock units (1) — — — (181,994 ) — Vesting of performance share units (2) — — — (68,928 ) — Balance at February 28, 2018 258,718,356 28,335,387 1,970 90,743,239 5,005,800 (1) Net of 117,188 shares, 241,870 shares and 112,851 shares withheld for the years ended February 28, 2018 , February 28, 2017 , and February 29, 2016 , respectively, to satisfy tax withholding requirements. (2) Net of 55,584 shares, 168,811 shares and 216,396 shares withheld for the years ended February 28, 2018 , February 28, 2017 , and February 29, 2016 , respectively, to satisfy tax withholding requirements. Stock repurchases – In April 2012, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock (the “2013 Authorization”), which was fully utilized during the year ended February 28, 2017. Shares repurchased under the 2013 Authorization have become treasury shares. In November 2016, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock (the “2017 Authorization”), which was fully utilized during the year ended February 28, 2018. Shares repurchased under the 2017 Authorization have become treasury shares. In January 2018, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $3.0 billion of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock (the “2018 Authorization”). The Board of Directors did not specify a date upon which this authorization would expire. Shares repurchased under the 2018 Authorization have become treasury shares. For the year ended February 28, 2018 , we repurchased 2,530,194 shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the 2017 Authorization at an aggregate cost of $546.9 million and 2,279,867 shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the 2018 Authorization at an aggregate cost of $491.6 million through a combination of open market transactions and an accelerated share repurchase agreement with a third-party financial institution. Subsequent to February 28, 2018 , we repurchased 93,287 shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the 2018 Authorization at an aggregate cost of $21.2 million through open market transactions. As of April 23, 2018 , total shares repurchased under these authorizations are as follows: Class A Common Shares Repurchase Authorization Dollar Value of Shares Repurchased Number of Shares Repurchased (in millions, except share data) 2013 Authorization $ 1,000.0 $ 1,000.0 18,670,632 2017 Authorization $ 1,000.0 $ 1,000.0 5,536,741 2018 Authorization $ 3,000.0 $ 512.8 2,373,154 Common stock dividends – In March 2018, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.74 per share of Class A Common Stock, $0.67 per share of Class B Convertible Common Stock and $0.67 per share of Class 1 Common Stock payable in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
STOCK-BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION	STOCK-BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION: We have two stock-based employee compensation plans (as further discussed below). Total compensation cost recognized for our stock-based awards and income tax benefits related thereto are as follows: For the Years Ended February 28, 2018 February 28, 2017 February 29, 2016 (in millions) Total compensation cost recognized in our results of operations $ 60.9 $ 56.1 $ 54.0 Income tax benefit related thereto recognized in our results of operations $ 13.5 $ 18.5 $ 17.8 Long-term stock incentive plan – Under our Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance share units and other stock-based awards may be granted to our employees, officers and directors. The aggregate number of shares of our Class A Common Stock and Class 1 Common Stock available for awards under our Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan is 108,000,000 shares. The exercise price, vesting period and term of nonqualified stock options granted are established by the committee administering the plan (the “Committee”). The exercise price of any nonqualified stock option may not be less than the fair market value of our Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. Nonqualified stock options generally vest and become exercisable over a four -year period from the date of grant and expire as established by the Committee, but not later than ten years after the grant date. Grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance share units and other stock-based awards may contain such vesting periods, terms, conditions and other requirements as the Committee may establish. Restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards are based on service and generally vest over one to four years from the date of grant. Performance share unit awards are based on service and the satisfaction of certain performance conditions, and vest over a required employee service period, generally from one to three years from the date of grant, which closely matches the performance period. The performance conditions include the achievement of specified financial or operational performance metrics, or market conditions which require the achievement of specified levels of shareholder return relative to other companies as defined in the applicable performance share unit agreement. The actual number of shares to be awarded upon vesting of a performance share unit award will range between 0% and 200% of the target award, based upon the measure of performance as certified by the Committee. A summary of stock option activity under our Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan is as follows: For the Years Ended February 28, 2018 February 28, 2017 February 29, 2016 Number of Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Number of Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Number of Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding as of March 1 8,070,255 $ 44.31 9,541,393 $ 34.03 13,613,615 $ 25.46 Granted 624,121 $ 172.70 648,147 $ 157.01 838,996 $ 117.17 Exercised (1,188,922 ) $ 31.86 (1,948,236 ) $ 25.79 (4,689,588 ) $ 22.25 Forfeited (59,725 ) $ 136.08 (170,711 ) $ 109.23 (220,433 ) $ 71.75 Expired (1,028 ) $ 36.13 (338 ) $ 31.92 (1,197 ) $ 21.02 Outstanding as of last day of February 7,444,701 $ 56.33 8,070,255 $ 44.31 9,541,393 $ 34.03 Exercisable 5,983,286 $ 34.12 6,456,382 $ 26.66 7,348,309 $ 21.37 As of February 28, 2018 , the aggregate intrinsic value of our options outstanding and exercisable was $1,184.8 million and $1,085.1 million , respectively. In addition, the weighted average remaining contractual life for our options outstanding and exercisable was 4.3 years and 3.3 years , respectively. The fair value of stock options vested, and the intrinsic value of and tax benefit realized from the exercise of stock options, are as follows: For the Years Ended February 28, 2018 February 28, 2017 February 29, 2016 (in millions) Fair value of stock options vested $ 20.3 $ 20.3 $ 20.1 Intrinsic value of stock options exercised $ 189.9 $ 260.4 $ 514.9 Tax benefit realized from stock options exercised $ 59.8 $ 106.0 $ 193.5 The weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options granted and the weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model are as follows: For the Years Ended February 28, 2018 February 28, 2017 February 29, 2016 Grant-date fair value $ 42.88 $ 40.09 $ 31.14 Expected life (1) 5.9 years 5.9 years 5.9 years Expected volatility (2) 26.0 % 27.1 % 28.5 % Risk-free interest rate (3) 2.0 % 1.6 % 1.6 % Expected dividend yield (4) 1.2 % 1.0 % 1.1 % (1) Based on historical experience of employees’ exercise behavior for similar type awards. (2) Based primarily on historical volatility levels of our Class A Common Stock.

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 Comparable Adjustments. 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 Years Ended February 28, 2018 February 28, 2017 February 29, 2016 (in millions) Cost of product sold Loss on inventory write-down $ (19.1 ) $ — $ — Flow through of inventory step-up (18.7 ) (20.1 ) (18.4 ) Net gain (loss) on undesignated commodity derivative contracts 7.4 16.3 (48.1 ) Settlements of undesignated commodity derivative contracts 2.3 23.4 29.5 Amortization of favorable interim supply agreement — (2.2 ) (31.7 ) Total cost of product sold (28.1 ) 17.4 (68.7 ) Selling, general and administrative expenses Impairment of intangible assets (86.8 ) (37.6 ) — Loss on contract termination (1) (59.0 ) — — Restructuring and other strategic business development costs (14.0 ) (0.9 ) (16.4 ) Transaction, integration and other acquisition-related costs (8.1 ) (14.2 ) (15.4 ) Costs associated with the Canadian Divestiture and related activities (3.2 ) (20.4 ) — Other gains (losses) (2) 10.5 (2.6 ) — Total selling, general and administrative expenses (160.6 ) (75.7 ) (31.8 ) Gain on sale of business — 262.4 — Comparable Adjustments, Operating income (loss) $ (188.7 ) $ 204.1 $ (100.5 ) (1) Represents a loss incurred in connection with the early termination of a beer glass supply contract with an affiliate of Owens-Illinois. (2) Includes a gain of $8.1 million for the year ended February 28, 2018, in connection with the reduction in estimated fair value of a contingent liability associated with a prior period acquisition.

Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Feb. 28, 2018
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of consolidation	Principles of consolidation: Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and our majority-owned and controlled domestic and foreign subsidiaries. In addition, we have an equally-owned joint venture with Owens-Illinois. The joint venture owns and operates a state-of-the-art glass production plant which provides bottles exclusively for our brewery located in Nava, Coahuila, Mexico (the “Nava Brewery”). We have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of this variable interest entity and accordingly, the results of operations of the joint venture are reported in the Beer segment and are included in our consolidated results of operations. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Equity method investments	Equity method investments: If we are not required to consolidate our investment in another entity, we use the equity method when we (i) can exercise significant influence over the other entity and (ii) hold common stock and/or in-substance common stock of the other entity. Under the equity method, investments are carried at cost, plus or minus our equity in the increases and decreases in the investee’s net assets after the date of acquisition. Dividends received from the investee reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
Management's use of estimates	Management’s use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition	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. Additionally, this guidance requires improved disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. We adopted this guidance on March 1, 2018, using the retrospective application method to allow for consistent reporting in all comparable periods throughout Fiscal 2019. We have completed changes to our accounting policies, systems and controls to support the new revenue recognition and disclosure requirements. Based on our analysis, the broad definition of variable consideration under this guidance requires us to estimate and record certain variable payments resulting from various sales incentives earlier than we have historically recorded them. This change in the timing of when we recognize sales incentive expenses will shift net sales recognition between our fiscal quarters; however, the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our full year net sales recognition. Under the retrospective application method, we will recognize the cumulative impact of adopting this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 with a reduction to our March 1, 2016, opening retained earnings of approximately $50 million , net of income tax effect, with an offsetting increase to current accrued promotion expense and the recognition of a deferred tax asset to align the timing of when we recognize sales incentive expense and when we recognize revenue. Revenue recognition: We record revenue (referred to in our financial statements as “sales”) when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery is not considered to have occurred until risk of loss passes to the customer according to the terms of the contract between us and our customer. Risk of loss is usually transferred upon shipment to or receipt at our customers’ locations, as determined by the specific sales terms of the transactions. Our sales terms do not allow for a right of return except for matters related to any manufacturing defects on our part. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included in sales. Sales reflect reductions attributable to consideration given to customers in various customer incentive programs, including pricing discounts on single transactions, volume discounts, promotional and advertising allowances, coupons and rebates (see “Accounting guidance not yet adopted – Revenue recognition” below). Excise taxes remitted to governmental tax authorities are shown on a separate line item as a reduction of sales. Excise taxes are recognized in our results of operations when the related sale is recorded.
Cost of product sold	Cost of product sold: The types of costs included in cost of product sold are raw materials, packaging materials, manufacturing costs, plant administrative support and overheads, and freight and warehouse costs (including distribution network costs). Distribution network costs include inbound freight charges and outbound shipping and handling costs, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing and internal transfer costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses	Selling, general and administrative expenses: The types of costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses consist predominately of advertising and non-manufacturing administrative and overhead costs. Distribution network costs are included in cost of product sold.
Advertising expenses	We expense advertising costs as incurred, shown or distributed.
Foreign currency translation	Foreign currency translation: The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is generally the respective local currency. The translation from the applicable foreign currencies to U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI”). Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency denominated transactions are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Cash and cash equivalents	Cash and cash equivalents: Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity when purchased of three months or less and are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
Fair value of financial instruments	Fair value of financial instruments: We calculate the estimated fair value of financial instruments using quoted market prices whenever available. When quoted market prices are not available, we use standard pricing models for various types of financial instruments (such as forwards, options and swaps) which take into account the present value of estimated future cash flows (see Note 7 ).
Derivative instruments	Derivative instruments: We enter into derivative instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. We enter into derivatives for risk management purposes only, including derivatives designated in hedge accounting relationships as well as those derivatives utilized as economic hedges. We do not enter into derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at estimated fair value (see Note 6 , Note 7 ). We present our derivative positions gross on our balance sheets. Changes in fair values (to the extent of hedge effectiveness) of outstanding cash flow hedges are deferred in stockholders’ equity as a component of AOCI. These deferred gains or losses are recognized in our results of operations in the same period in which the hedged items are recognized and on the same financial statement line item as the hedged items. Any ineffectiveness associated with these derivative instruments is recognized immediately in our results of operations. Effective March 1, 2018, we adopted FASB guidance which amends, among other items, the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness for outstanding cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the entire change in the fair value of outstanding cash flow hedges are deferred in stockholders’ equity as a component of AOCI prospectively from the date of adoption. Changes in fair values for derivative instruments not designated in a hedge accounting relationship are recognized directly in our results of operations each period and on the same financial statement line item as the hedged item. For purposes of measuring segment operating performance, the net gain (loss) from the changes in fair value of our undesignated commodity derivative contracts, prior to settlement, is reported outside of segment operating results until such time that the underlying exposure is recognized in the segment operating results. Upon settlement, the net gain (loss) from the changes in fair value of the undesignated commodity derivative contracts is reported in the appropriate operating segment, allowing our operating segment results to reflect the economic effects of the commodity derivative contracts without the resulting unrealized mark to fair value volatility. Cash flows from the settlement of derivatives, including both economic hedges and those designated in hedge accounting relationships, appear on our statements of cash flows in the same categories as the cash flows of the hedged items.
Inventories	Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (primarily computed in accordance with the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Elements of cost include materials, labor and overhead. Bulk wine inventories are included as in-process inventories within current assets, in accordance with the general practices of the wine industry, although a portion of such inventories may be aged for periods greater than one year. A substantial portion of barreled whiskey and brandy will not be sold within one year because of the duration of the aging process. All barreled whiskey and brandy are classified as in-process inventories and are included in current assets, in accordance with industry practice. Warehousing, insurance, ad valorem taxes and other carrying charges applicable to barreled whiskey and brandy held for aging are included in inventory costs. We assess the valuation of our inventories and reduce the carrying value of those inventories that are obsolete or in excess of our forecasted usage to their estimated net realizable value based on analyses and assumptions including, but not limited to, historical usage, future demand and market requirements.
Property, plant and equipment	Property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Major additions and improvements are recorded as an increase to the property accounts, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the balance sheet accounts at the time of disposal and resulting gains and losses are included as a component of operating income.
Depreciation	Depreciation: Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Years Land improvements 15 to 32 Vineyards 16 to 26 Buildings and improvements 10 to 50 Machinery and equipment 3 to 35 Motor vehicles 3 to 7
Goodwill and other intangible assets	Goodwill and other intangible assets: Goodwill is allocated to the reporting unit in which the business that created the goodwill resides. A reporting unit is an operating segment, or a business unit one level below that operating segment, for which discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by segment management. We review our goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets annually for impairment, or sooner, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We use January 1 as our annual impairment test measurement date. Indefinite lived intangible assets consist principally of trademarks. Intangible assets determined to have a finite life, primarily customer relationships, are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are subject to review for impairment in accordance with authoritative guidance for long-lived assets. Note 9 provides a summary of intangible assets segregated between amortizable and nonamortizable amounts.
Indemnification liabilities	Indemnification liabilities: We have indemnified respective parties against certain liabilities that may arise in connection with certain acquisitions and divestitures. Indemnification liabilities are recognized when probable and estimable and included in other liabilities (see Note 14 ).
Income taxes	Income taxes: In October 2016, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. Under this guidance, an entity is required to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Current guidance prohibits the recognition in earnings of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to an outside party or recovered through use. We adopted this guidance on March 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective basis, which requires a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Based on our assessment of intra-entity asset transfers that are in scope and the related deferred income taxes, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we will recognize a net increase in our March 1, 2018, opening retained earnings and deferred tax assets of approximately $2.2 billion , primarily in connection with the intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property related to our imported beer business for the year ended February 28, 2018. Income taxes: We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. This method accounts for deferred income taxes by applying statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. We provide for taxes that may be payable if undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries were to be remitted to the U.S., except for those earnings that we consider to be indefinitely reinvested (see Note 13). Interest and penalties are recognized as a component of provision for income taxes.
Net income per common share attributable to CBI	Net income per common share attributable to CBI: We have two classes of common stock with a material number of shares outstanding: Class A Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock (see Note 15 ). In addition, we have another class of common stock with an immaterial number of shares outstanding: Class 1 Common Stock (see Note 15 ). If we pay a cash dividend on Class B Convertible Common Stock, each share of Class A Common Stock will receive an amount at least ten percent greater than the amount of the cash dividend per share paid on Class B Convertible Common Stock. Class B Convertible Common Stock shares are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-to-one basis at any time at the option of the holder. We use the two-class method for the computation and presentation of net income per common share attributable to CBI (hereafter referred to as “net income per common share”) (see Note 17 ). The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that calculates basic and diluted net income per common share for each class of common stock separately based on dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period. Under the two-class method, Class A Common Stock is assumed to receive a ten percent greater participation in undistributed earnings than Class B Convertible Common Stock, in accordance with the respective minimum dividend rights of each class of stock. Net income per common share – basic excludes the effect of common stock equivalents and is computed using the two-class method. Net income per common share – diluted for Class A Common Stock reflects the potential dilution that could result if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Net income per common share – diluted for Class A Common Stock is computed using the more dilutive of the if-converted or two-class method. Net income per common share – diluted for Class A Common Stock is computed using the if-converted method and assumes the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method and the conversion of Class B Convertible Common Stock as this method is more dilutive than the two-class method. Net income per common share – diluted for Class B Convertible Common Stock is computed using the two-class method and does not assume conversion of Class B Convertible Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock.
Stock-based employee compensation	Stock-based employee compensation: Effective March 1, 2017, we adopted the FASB amended guidance for, among other items, the accounting for income taxes related to share-based compensation and the related classification in the statement of cash flows. This guidance requires the recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies (resulting from an increase or decrease in the fair value of an award from grant date to the vesting or settlement date) in the provision for income taxes as a discrete item in the quarterly period in which they occur. Through February 28, 2017, these amounts were recognized in additional paid-in capital at the time of vesting or settlement. Additionally, effective March 1, 2017, excess tax benefits are classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows instead of as a financing activity where they were previously presented. We adopted this guidance on a prospective basis and, accordingly, prior periods have not been adjusted. Adoption of this guidance resulted in the recognition of excess tax benefits in our provision for income taxes rather than additional paid-in capital of $68.6 million for the year ended February 28, 2018 . The adoption of this amended guidance also impacted our calculation of diluted earnings per share under the treasury stock method, as excess tax benefits and deficiencies resulting from share-based compensation are no longer included in the assumed proceeds calculation. This change in the assumed proceeds calculation resulted in a decrease in diluted earnings per share of $0.07 for the year ended February 28, 2018 . We have elected to continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur to determine the amount of compensation cost to be recognized in each period. The remaining provisions of this amended guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Stock-based employee compensation: We have two stock-based employee compensation plans (see Note 16 ). We apply a grant date fair-value-based measurement method in accounting for our stock-based payment arrangements and record all costs resulting from stock-based payment transactions ratably over the requisite service period. Stock-based awards are subject to specific vesting conditions, generally time vesting, or upon retirement, disability or death of the employee (as defined by the plan), if earlier. For awards granted to retirement-eligible employees, we recognize compensation expense ratably over the period from the date of grant to the date of retirement-eligibility.
Leases	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.
