Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BASIS OF PRESENTATION Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Company,” “CBI,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Constellation Brands, Inc. and its subsidiaries. We have prepared the consolidated financial statements included herein, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to quarterly reporting on Form 10-Q and reflect, in our opinion, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2019 (the “2019 Annual Report”), and include the recently adopted accounting guidance described in Note 2 and Note 14 herein. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE	ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE Recently adopted accounting guidance In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance for the accounting for leases. Under this guidance, a lessee recognizes assets and liabilities on its balance sheet for most leases. Lease expense continues to be consistent with previous guidance. Additionally, this guidance requires enhanced disclosures regarding the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. We adopted the guidance on March 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach, accordingly, prior period balances and disclosures have not been restated. We elected the package of transition practical expedients for expired or existing contracts, which retains prior conclusions reached on lease identification, classification, and initial direct costs incurred. We finalized the implementation of changes to our accounting policies, systems and controls, including a new leasing software to capture the required data for accounting and disclosure. The adoption of this guidance resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets of $585.4 million and operating lease liabilities of $619.7 million as of March 1, 2019, and did not have a material impact on our results of operations or liquidity. For additional information on leases, refer to Note 14 .

Elements of cost include materials, labor, and overhead and consist of the following: August 31, 2019 (1) February 28, (in millions) Raw materials and supplies $ 147.0 $ 182.6 In-process inventories 792.2 1,480.5 Finished case goods 372.2 467.3 $ 1,311.4 $ 2,130.4 (1) The inventory balance at August 31, 2019 , excludes amounts reclassified to assets held for sale (see Note 4 ). Related party transactions and arrangements We have an equally-owned glass production plant joint venture with Owens-Illinois. 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 were $126.4 million and $123.7 million for the six months ended August 31, 2019 , and August 31, 2018 , respectively, and $37.9 million and $54.7 million for the three months ended August 31, 2019 , and August 31, 2018 , respectively.

Text Block [Abstract]
WINE AND SPIRITS TRANSFORMATION	WINE AND SPIRITS TRANSFORMATION Wine and Spirits Transaction In April 2019, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell a portion of our wine and spirits business, including approximately 30 lower-margin, lower-growth wine and spirits brands, wineries, vineyards, offices, and facilities, for approximately $1.7 billion , subject to certain adjustments (the “Wine and Spirits Transaction”). The Wine and Spirits Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approval, and is expected to close by the end of Fiscal 2020. We expect to use the net cash proceeds from the Wine and Spirits Transaction primarily to reduce outstanding borrowings. Subsequent event We now believe it is likely that a portion of the Wine and Spirits Transaction purchase price may be revised to take the form of contingent consideration, receivable based on future brand performance. We record contingent consideration when it is determined to be realizable. Therefore, we now expect to recognize an additional loss of approximately $300 million on the write-down of assets held for sale during the three months ended November 30, 2019. Black Velvet Transaction In August 2019, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell Black Velvet Canadian Whisky and the brand’s associated production facility, along with a subset of Canadian whisky brands produced at that facility, for approximately $266 million , subject to certain adjustments (the “Black Velvet Transaction”). We expect to recognize a gain of approximately $70 million to $80 million upon closing. The Black Velvet Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of calendar 2019. We expect to use the net cash proceeds from the Black Velvet Transaction primarily to reduce outstanding borrowings.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS Overview Our risk management and derivative accounting policies are presented in Notes 1 and 6 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2019 Annual Report and have not changed significantly for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2019 . We have investments in certain equity securities and other rights which provide us with the option to purchase an additional ownership interest in the equity securities of Canopy (see Note 9 ). These investments are included in securities measured at fair value and are accounted for at fair value, with the net gain (loss) from the changes in fair value of these investments recognized in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments (see Note 6 ). The aggregate notional value of outstanding derivative instruments is as follows: August 31, February 28, (in millions) Derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments Foreign currency contracts $ 1,959.9 $ 1,579.3 Interest rate swap contracts $ 375.0 $ — Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments Foreign currency contracts $ 781.2 $ 460.3 Commodity derivative contracts $ 265.1 $ 284.7 Credit risk We are exposed to credit-related losses if the counterparties to our derivative contracts default. This credit risk is limited to the fair value of the derivative contracts. To manage this risk, we contract only with major financial institutions that have earned investment-grade credit ratings and with whom we have standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements which allow for net settlement of the derivative contracts. We have also established counterparty credit guidelines that are regularly monitored. Because of these safeguards, we believe the risk of loss from counterparty default to be immaterial. In addition, our derivative instruments are not subject to credit rating contingencies or collateral requirements. As of August 31, 2019 , the estimated fair value of derivative instruments in a net liability position due to counterparties was $53.4 million . If we were required to settle the net liability position under these derivative instruments on August 31, 2019 , 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 6 ): Assets Liabilities August 31, February 28, August 31, February 28, (in millions) Derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments Foreign currency contracts: Prepaid expenses and other $ 9.6 $ 14.1 Other accrued expenses and liabilities $ 24.0 $ 8.8 Other assets $ 11.6 $ 22.1 Deferred income taxes and other liabilities $ 18.6 $ 6.3 Interest rate swap contracts: Prepaid expenses and other $ 0.1 $ — Other accrued expenses and liabilities $ 0.8 $ — Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments Foreign currency contracts: Prepaid expenses and other $ 4.5 $ 2.0 Other accrued expenses and liabilities $ 11.0 $ 0.6 Commodity derivative contracts: Prepaid expenses and other $ 1.2 $ 6.1 Other accrued expenses and liabilities $ 15.6 $ 6.1 Other assets $ 0.3 $ 2.6 Deferred income taxes and other liabilities $ 10.7 $ 5.5 The principal effect of our derivative instruments designated in cash flow hedging relationships on our results of operations, as well as Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“OCI”), net of income tax effect, is as follows: Derivative Instruments in Designated Cash Flow Hedging Relationships Net Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI Location of Net Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI to Income (Loss) Net Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI to Income (Loss) (in millions) For the Six Months Ended August 31, 2019 Foreign currency contracts $ (35.6 ) Sales $ — Cost of product sold 7.8 Interest rate swap contracts (0.6 ) Interest expense — $ (36.2 ) $ 7.8 For the Six Months Ended August 31, 2018 Foreign currency contracts $ (7.0 ) Sales $ 0.1 Cost of product sold 4.7 $ (7.0 ) $ 4.8 Derivative Instruments in Designated Cash Flow Hedging Relationships Net Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI Location of Net Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI to Income (Loss) Net Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI to Income (Loss) (in millions) For the Three Months Ended August 31, 2019 Foreign currency contracts $ (33.2 ) Sales $ — Cost of product sold 4.2 Interest rate swap contracts (0.6 ) Interest expense — $ (33.8 ) $ 4.2 For the Three Months Ended August 31, 2018 Foreign currency contracts $ 37.9 Sales $ — Cost of product sold 0.6 $ 37.9 $ 0.6 We expect $6.8 million of net losses, net of income tax effect, to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) to our results of operations within the next 12 months.

Fair Value of Financial Instrum

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 volatility, 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 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, entered 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). Canopy investments Equity securities, Warrants – The terms of the November 2018 Canopy Warrants were modified in June 2019 and now consist of three tranches of warrants: New Tranche A Warrants, New Tranche B Warrants, and New Tranche C Warrants. The exercise price for the New Tranche C Warrants is based on the volume-weighted average of the closing market price of Canopy’s common shares on the TSX for the five trading days immediately preceding the exercise date (“VWAP Exercise Price”), accordingly, no fair value is assigned. For additional information on the November 2018 Canopy Warrants and the related modification, refer to Note 9 . The inputs used to estimate the fair value of the Canopy warrants (all as defined in Note 9 ) are as follows: August 31, 2019 (1) February 28, 2019 New Tranche A Warrants (2) New Tranche B Warrants (3) November 2017 Canopy Warrants (2) November (2) November 2017 Canopy Warrants (2) Exercise price (4) C$ 50.40 C$ 76.68 C$ 12.98 C$ 50.40 C$ 12.98 Valuation date stock price (5) C$ 31.46 C$ 31.46 C$ 31.46 C$ 62.38 C$ 62.38 Expected life (6) 4.2 years 7.2 years 0.7 years 2.7 years 1.2 years Expected volatility (7) 65.0 % 65.0 % 69.6 % 79.3 % 87.8 % Risk-free interest rate (8) 1.2 % 1.2 % 1.6 % 1.8 % 1.8 % Expected dividend yield (9) 0.0 % 0.0 % 0.0 % 0.0 % 0.0 % (1) New Tranche C Warrants are not included in the table as there is no fair value assigned. (2) The fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (Level 2 fair value measurement). (3) The fair value is estimated using Monte Carlo simulations (Level 2 fair value measurement). (4) Based on the exercise price from the applicable underlying agreements. (5) Based on the closing market price for Canopy common stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) as of the applicable date. (6) Based on the expiration date of the warrants. (7) Based on consideration of historical and/or implied volatility levels of the underlying equity security and limited consideration of historical peer group volatility levels. (8) Based on the implied yield currently available on Canadian Treasury zero coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life. (9) Based on historical dividend levels. Debt securities, Convertible – In June 2018, we acquired convertible debt securities issued by Canopy for C$200.0 million , or $150.5 million (the “Canopy Debt Securities”). We have elected the fair value option to account for the Canopy Debt Securities, which at that time, provided the greatest level of consistency with the accounting treatment for the November 2017 Canopy Warrants. Interest income on the Canopy Debt Securities is calculated using the effective interest method and is recognized separately from the changes in fair value in interest expense. The Canopy Debt Securities have a contractual maturity of five years from the date of issuance but may be converted prior to maturity by either party upon the occurrence of certain events. At settlement, the Canopy Debt Securities can be settled at the option of the issuer, in cash, equity shares of the issuer, or a combination thereof. The fair value is estimated using a binomial lattice option-pricing model (Level 2 fair value measurement), which includes an estimate of the credit spread based on the implied spread as of the issuance date of the notes. The inputs used to estimate the fair value of the Canopy Debt Securities are as follows: August 31, February 28, Conversion price (1) C$ 48.17 C$ 48.17 Valuation date stock price (2) C$ 31.46 C$ 62.38 Remaining term (3) 3.9 years 4.4 years Expected volatility (4) 49.0 % 45.9 % Risk-free interest rate (5) 1.3 % 1.8 % Expected dividend yield (6) 0.0 % 0.0 % (1) Based on the rate which the Canopy Debt Securities may be converted into equity shares, or the equivalent amount of cash, at the option of the issuer. (2) Based on the closing market price for Canopy common stock on the TSX as of the applicable date. (3) Based on the contractual maturity date of the notes. (4) Based on historical volatility levels of the underlying equity security reduced to account for certain risks not incorporated into the option-pricing model. (5) Based on the implied yield currently available on Canadian Treasury zero coupon issues with a term equal to the remaining contractual term of the debt securities. (6) Based on historical dividend levels. 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 rating (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, are variable interest rate bearing notes for which the carrying value approximates the fair value. Long-term debt The term loans under our Term Credit Agreement and 2019 Term Credit Agreement (both as defined in Note 11 ) are variable interest rate bearing notes which include a fixed margin which is adjustable based upon our debt rating. The senior floating rate notes are variable interest rate bearing notes which include a fixed margin. The fair value of the term loans and the senior floating rate notes are 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 August 31, 2019 , and February 28, 2019 , due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As of August 31, 2019 , the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $12,795.9 million , compared with an estimated fair value of $13,677.2 million . As of February 28, 2019 , the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $12,825.0 million , compared with an estimated fair value of $12,768.5 million .

Accounted for under the equity method from November 1, 2018. For additional information on the November 2017 Canopy Investment, refer to Note 9. (ii) The terms of the November 2018 Canopy Warrants were modified in June 2019. For additional information on the November 2018 Canopy Warrants and the related modification, refer to Note 9. The amounts are net of a $1,176.0 million unrealized gain resulting from the June 2019 Warrant Modification for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2019. Nonrecurring basis measurements The following table presents our assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value on a nonrecurring basis for which an impairment assessment was performed for the period presented: Fair Value Measurements Using Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Total Losses (in millions) For the Six Months Ended August 31, 2019 Long-lived assets held for sale $ — $ — $ 1,444.4 $ 27.0 Trademarks $ — $ — $ 17.0 $ 11.0 Total $ — $ — $ 1,461.4 $ 38.0 Long-lived assets held for sale For the six months and three months ended August 31, 2019 , in connection with the Wine and Spirits Transaction (as defined in Note 4 ), long-lived assets held for sale with a carrying value of $1,471.4 million were written down to their estimated fair value of $1,444.4 million , less cost to sell, resulting in a loss of $27.0 million . These losses are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. These assets consisted primarily of goodwill, intangible assets, and certain winery and vineyard assets which had satisfied the conditions necessary to be classified as held for sale. As such, these assets were written down to a value based on our estimate of fair value less cost to sell. Our estimate of fair value was determined based on the expected proceeds from the Wine and Spirits Transaction as of August 31, 2019 . Trademarks For the six months and three months ended August 31, 2019 , certain continuing negative trends within our Beer segment’s Ballast Point craft beer portfolio, including increased rate of revenue decline and increased competition, indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible asset associated with the Ballast Point craft beer trademark might be below its carrying value. Accordingly, we performed a quantitative assessment for impairment. As a result of this assessment, the Ballast Point craft beer trademark asset with a carrying value of $28.0 million was written down to its estimated fair value of $17.0 million , resulting in an impairment of $11.0 million . This impairment is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

See defined acquisition term below. (2) Preliminary purchase accounting allocations associated primarily with the acquisition of Nelson’s Green Brier (Wine and Spirits). See defined acquisition term below. (3) In connection with the Wine and Spirits Transaction and the Black Velvet Transaction, goodwill associated with the businesses being sold were reclassified to assets held for sale based on the relative fair values of the portion of the business being sold and the remaining wine and spirits portfolio. The relative fair values were determined using the income approach based on assumptions, including projected revenue growth rates, terminal growth rate, and discount rate and other projected financial information. Acquisitions Nelson’s Green Brier In May 2019, we increased our ownership interest in Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery, LLC (“Nelson’s Green Brier”) to 75% , resulting in consolidation of the business and recognition of a noncontrolling interest. This acquisition included a portfolio of award-winning, Tennessee-based craft bourbon and whiskey products. The preliminary fair value of the business combination was allocated primarily to goodwill, trademarks, inventory, and property, plant, and equipment. The results of operations of Nelson’s Green Brier are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. We recognized a gain of $11.8 million for the six months ended August 31, 2019 , related to the remeasurement of our previously held 20% equity interest in Nelson’s Green Brier to the acquisition-date fair value. This gain is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses within our consolidated results of operations. Four Corners In July 2018, we acquired Four Corners Brewing Company LLC, which included a portfolio of high-quality, dynamic, and bicultural, Texas-based craft beers (“Four Corners”). The purchase price was primarily allocated to goodwill, property, plant, and equipment, and trademarks, plus an earn-out over five years based on the performance of the brands. The results of operations of Four Corners are reported in the Beer segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

The November 2017 Canopy Warrants were issued with an exercise price of C$12.98 per warrant share and are exercisable as of August 31, 2019 . These warrants expire in May 2020 . The November 2017 Canopy Investment was accounted for at fair value from the date of investment through October 31, 2018. From November 1, 2018, the November 2017 Canopy Investment has been accounted for under the equity method (see “Canopy Equity Method Investment” below). The November 2017 Canopy Warrants have been accounted for at fair value from the date of investment. On November 1, 2018, we increased our ownership interest in Canopy by acquiring an additional 104.5 million common shares (the “November 2018 Canopy Investment”) (see Canopy Equity Method Investment below), plus warrants which give us the option to purchase an additional 139.7 million common shares of Canopy (the “November 2018 Canopy Warrants”, and together with the November 2018 Canopy Investment, the “November 2018 Canopy Transaction”) for C$5,078.7 million , or $3,869.9 million . On November 1, 2018, our ownership interest in Canopy increased to 36.6% which allows us to exercise significant influence, but not control, over Canopy. Therefore, we account for the November 2017 Canopy Investment and the November 2018 Canopy Investment, each of which represents an investment in common shares of Canopy, collectively, under the equity method (the “Canopy Equity Method Investment”). We recognize equity in earnings (losses) and related activities for this investment on a two-month lag. Accordingly, we recognized equity in earnings (losses) and related activities of $(590.4) million for the period January 1, 2019, through June 30, 2019, in our consolidated financial statements for the six months ended August 31, 2019 , and $(484.4) million for the period April 1, 2019, through June 30, 2019, in our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended August 31, 2019 . Equity in earnings (losses) from the Canopy Equity Method Investment and related activities include, among other items, our share of the additional loss resulting from the June 2019 Warrant Modification (as defined below) of $(409.0) million (the “June 2019 Warrant Modification Loss”), the amortization of the fair value adjustments associated with the definite-lived intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, the flow through of inventory step-up, and unrealized gains (losses) associated with changes in our Canopy ownership percentage resulting from periodic equity issuances made by Canopy. The November 2018 Canopy Warrants originally consisted of 88.5 million warrants (the “Tranche A Warrants”) and 51.2 million warrants (the “Tranche B Warrants”). The Tranche A Warrants were immediately exercisable at an exercise price of C$50.40 per warrant share. The Tranche B Warrants were exercisable upon the exercise, in full, of the Tranche A Warrants and at an exercise price based on the volume-weighted average of the closing market price of Canopy’s common shares on the TSX for the five trading days immediately preceding the exercise date. The November 2018 Canopy Warrants originally expired in November 2021 and have been accounted for at fair value from the date of investment. In June 2019, the Canopy shareholders approved the modification of the terms of the November 2018 Canopy Warrants and certain other rights (the “June 2019 Warrant Modification”), and the other required approvals necessary for the modifications to be effective were granted. These changes are the result of Canopy’s intention to acquire Acreage Holdings, Inc. (“Acreage”) upon U.S. Federal cannabis legalization, subject to certain conditions (the “Acreage Transaction”). As a result of the modifications, we continue to have the option to purchase an additional 139.7 million common shares of Canopy upon exercise of the warrants originally received in November 2018; however, this option now consists of three tranches of warrants, including 88.5 million warrants (the “New Tranche A Warrants”), 38.4 million warrants (the “New Tranche B Warrants”), and 12.8 million warrants (the “New Tranche C Warrants”, and collectively with the New Tranche A Warrants and the New Tranche B Warrants, the “New November 2018 Canopy Warrants”). The New Tranche A Warrants have an exercise price of C$50.40 per warrant share and are currently exercisable, but now expire November 1, 2023. The New Tranche B Warrants now have an exercise price of C$76.68 per warrant share and the New Tranche C Warrants have a VWAP Exercise Price. The New Tranche B Warrants and the New Tranche C Warrants now have an expiration date of November 1, 2026. The other rights obtained in June 2019 in connection with the Acreage Transaction include a share repurchase credit and the ability to purchase Canopy common shares on the open market or in private agreement transactions. If for any reason Canopy has not purchased the lesser of 27,378,866 Canopy common shares or C$1,583.0 million worth of Canopy common shares for cancellation by the end of the two-year period beginning upon full exercise of the New Tranche A Warrants, we will be credited an amount that will reduce the aggregate exercise price otherwise payable upon each exercise of the New Tranche B Warrants and New Tranche C Warrants. The credit will be an amount equal to the difference between C$1,583.0 million and the actual price paid by Canopy in purchasing its common shares for cancellation. If we choose to purchase Canopy common shares on the open market or in private agreement with existing holders, the number of New Tranche B Warrants or New Tranche C Warrants shall be decreased by one for each Canopy common share acquired, up to an aggregate maximum reduction of 20 million warrants. The likelihood of receiving the share repurchase credit if we were to fully exercise the New Tranche A Warrants is remote, therefore, no fair value has been assigned. The inputs used to estimate the fair value of the New November 2018 Canopy Warrants as of the June 27, 2019 modification date, are as follows: New Tranche A Warrants (1) New Tranche B Warrants (1) Exercise price C$ 50.40 C$ 76.68 Valuation date stock price C$ 53.36 C$ 53.36 Expected life 4.3 years 7.3 years Expected volatility 66.7 % 66.7 % Risk-free interest rate 1.4 % 1.4 % Expected dividend yield 0.0 % 0.0 % (1) Refer to Note 6 for input descriptions. Accordingly, we have recognized a $1,176.0 million unrealized gain from unconsolidated investments in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 from the June 2019 Warrant Modification. Approximately $322.5 million of the unrealized gain was associated with the New Tranche A Warrants and $853.5 million was associated with the New Tranche B Warrants. No value was associated with the New Tranche C Warrants as they have a VWAP Exercise Price. As the expiration dates of the New Tranche A Warrants and New Tranche B Warrants were extended, we now utilize a blend of Canopy’s historical volatility, implied volatility, and limited consideration of historical peer group volatility in our valuations to supplement the limited trading history. Canopy has various convertible equity securities outstanding, including primarily equity awards granted to its employees, and options and warrants issued to various third parties, including our November 2017 Canopy Warrants and New November 2018 Canopy Warrants. As of August 31, 2019 , the conversion of Canopy equity securities held by its employees and/or held by other third parties would not have a significant effect on our share of Canopy’s reported earnings or losses. Additionally, under an amended and restated investor rights agreement, we have the option to purchase additional common shares of Canopy at the then-current price of the underlying equity security to allow us to maintain our relative ownership interest. If Canopy exercises its right to acquire the shares of Acreage and we were to exercise all of our outstanding November 2017 Canopy Warrants and the New November 2018 Canopy Warrants, our ownership interest in Canopy would not be expected to be greater than 50 percent. As of August 31, 2019 , the exercise of all Canopy warrants held by us would have required a cash outflow of approximately $6.1 billion based on the terms of the November 2017 Canopy Warrants and the New November 2018 Canopy Warrants. Additionally, as of August 31, 2019 , the fair value of the Canopy Equity Method Investment was $2,916.0 million based on the closing price of the underlying equity security as of that date. The following table presents summarized financial information for Canopy presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We recognize our equity in earnings (losses) for Canopy on a two-month lag. Accordingly, we recognized our share of Canopy’s fourth quarter fiscal 2019 and first quarter fiscal 2020 earnings (losses) for the period January through June 2019 in our six months ended August 31, 2019 . We recognized our share of Canopy’s first quarter fiscal 2020 earnings (losses) for the period April through June 2019, in our three months ended August 31, 2019 results. The amounts shown represent 100% of Canopy’s results of operations for the respective periods. However, they exclude the impact the June 2019 Warrant Modification Loss because it was recorded within equity.

The 2018 Credit Agreement provides for aggregate credit facilities of $2.0 billion . Term Credit Agreement The Company, the Administrative Agent, and certain other lenders are parties to a term loan credit agreement (the “Term Credit Agreement”). The Term Credit Agreement provides for aggregate credit facilities of $1.5 billion , consisting of a $500.0 million three-year term loan facility (the “Three-Year Term Facility”) and a $1.0 billion five-year term loan facility (the “Five-Year Term Facility”). 2019 Term Credit Agreement In June 2019, the Company and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and lender (the “Lender”) entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “2019 Term Credit Agreement”). The 2019 Term Credit Agreement provides for the creation of a $491.3 million five-year term loan facility (the “2019 Five-Year Term Facility”). The 2019 Five-Year Term Facility will be repaid in quarterly payments of principal equal to 1.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Five-Year Term Facility, with the balance due and payable at maturity. The proceeds from borrowings under the 2019 Term Credit Agreement were used to repay in full the U.S. Term A-1 Facility under the 2018 Credit Agreement. The obligations under the 2019 Term Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company. The guarantors under the 2019 Term Credit Agreement are the same subsidiary guarantors as under the 2018 Credit Agreement and the Term Credit Agreement. We and our subsidiaries are subject to covenants that are contained in the 2019 Term Credit Agreement, including those restricting the incurrence of additional indebtedness (including guarantees of indebtedness), additional liens, mergers and consolidations, transactions with affiliates, and sale and leaseback transactions, in each case subject to numerous conditions, exceptions and thresholds.

(3) Net of outstanding revolving credit facility borrowings and outstanding letters of credit under the 2018 Credit Agreement and outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program of $151.0 million (excluding unamortized discount) (see “Commercial paper program”). Commercial paper program We have a commercial paper program which provides for the issuance of up to an aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion of commercial paper. Our commercial paper program is backed by unused commitments under our revolving credit facility under our 2018 Credit Agreement. Accordingly, outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program reduce the amount available under our revolving credit facility under our 2018 Credit Agreement. As of August 31, 2019 , we had $150.9 million of outstanding borrowings, net of unamortized discount, under our commercial paper program with a weighted average annual interest rate of 2.4% and a weighted average remaining term of 9 days . Interest rate swap contracts In June 2019, we entered into interest rate swap agreements, which are designated as cash flow hedges for $375.0 million of our floating LIBOR rate debt. As a result of these hedges, we have fixed our interest rates on $375.0 million of our floating LIBOR rate debt at an average rate of 1.9% (exclusive of borrowing margins) from July 1, 2019, through July 1, 2020. Senior Notes In July 2019, we issued $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.15% Senior Notes due August 2029 (the “July 2019 Senior Notes”). Proceeds from this offering, net of discount and debt issuance costs, were $793.0 million . Interest on the July 2019 Senior Notes is payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning February 1, 2020. The July 2019 Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time prior to May 1, 2029, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a make-whole payment based on the present value of the future payments at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points. On or after May 1, 2029, we may redeem the July 2019 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at our option at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The July 2019 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations which rank equally in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. Certain of our U.S. subsidiaries guarantee the July 2019 Senior Notes on a senior unsecured basis. In November 2014, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.875% Senior Notes due November 2019 (the “3.875% November 2014 Senior Notes”). On August 28, 2019, we repaid the 3.875% November 2014 Senior Notes with proceeds from the July 2019 Senior Notes. Debt payments As of August 31, 2019 , the required principal repayments under long-term debt obligations (excluding unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized discounts of $68.4 million and $14.7 million , respectively) for the remaining six months of fiscal 2020 and for each of the five succeeding fiscal years and thereafter are as follows: (in millions) 2020 $ 618.4 2021 734.6 2022 1,680.6 2023 1,827.2 2024 1,637.5 2025 780.7 Thereafter 5,600.0 $ 12,879.0

INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES Our effective tax rate for the six months ended August 31, 2019 was 33.9% of tax benefit as compared with 16.3% of tax expense for the six months ended August 31, 2018 . Our effective tax rate for the three months ended August 31, 2019 was 28.1% of tax benefit as compared with 15.7% of tax expense for the three months ended August 31, 2018 . For the six months and three months ended August 31, 2019 , our effective tax rate was higher than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the net unrealized loss from the changes in fair value of our investments in Canopy, which have resulted in an overall net loss for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2019 . Our effective tax rate benefited from the following: • a higher effective rate of tax benefit from our foreign businesses including the tax benefits recorded on the net unrealized loss from the changes in fair value of our investments in Canopy and the tax benefits recorded on the Canopy equity in earnings (losses) and related activities; • the recognition of a net income tax benefit from stock-based compensation award activity; and • for the six months ended August 31, 2019 , our effective tax rate also benefited from the reversal of valuation allowances for capital loss carryforwards in connection with the Wine and Spirits Transaction. For the six months and three months ended August 31, 2018 , our effective tax rate was lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to: • lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses; • the recognition of a net income tax benefit from stock-based compensation award activity; and • for the six months ended August 31, 2018 , our effective tax rate also benefited from the reversal of valuation allowances in connection with the sale of our Accolade Wine Investment (see Note 19 ). Subsequent Event As a result of certain foreign tax reform that was enacted in September 2019, we are estimating a one-time benefit to our deferred tax assets of approximately $500 million to $550 million to be recognized during the three months ended November 30, 2019.

Leases

Leases [Abstract]
LEASES	LEASES General We primarily lease certain vineyards, office and production facilities, warehouses, production equipment, and vehicles. We assess service arrangements to determine if an asset is explicitly or implicitly specified in the agreement and if we have the right to control the use of the identified asset. We have concluded that certain grape purchasing arrangements associated with the purchase of grape production yielded from a specified block of a vineyard and certain third-party logistics arrangements contain a lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which is primarily comprised of the initial amount of the lease liability, plus initial direct costs and lease payments at or before the lease commencement date, less any lease incentives received, and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term. All right-of-use assets are reviewed periodically for impairment. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, our secured incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rates are determined using a portfolio approach based on publicly available information in connection with our unsecured borrowing rates adjusted for items including collateral, currency, and the timing in which lease payments are made. We elected to recognize expenses for leases with a term of 12 months or less on a straight-line basis over the lease term and not to recognize these short-term leases on the balance sheet. Our leases have varying terms with remaining lease terms of up to approximately 30 years . Certain of our lease arrangements provide us with the option to extend or to terminate the lease early. The right-of-use asset and lease liability are calculated including options to extend or to terminate the lease when we determine that it is reasonably certain that we will exercise those options. In making that determination, we consider various existing economic and market factors, business strategies as well as the nature, length, and terms of the agreement. Based on our evaluation using these factors, we concluded that the exercise of renewal options or early termination options would not be reasonably certain in determining the lease term at commencement for leases we currently have in place. Assumptions made at the commencement date are re-evaluated upon occurrence of certain events such as a lease modification. Certain of our contractual arrangements may contain both lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components are distinct elements of a contract that are not related to securing the use of the leased asset, such as raw materials, common area maintenance and other management costs. We elected to measure the lease liability by combining the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all asset classes. Certain of our leases include variable lease payments, including payments that depend on an index or rate, as well as variable payments for items such as raw materials, labor, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other operating expenses associated with leased assets. Certain grape purchasing arrangements include variable payments that will vary depending on certain factors, including weather, time of harvest, overall market conditions, and the agricultural practices and location of the vineyard. In addition, certain third-party logistics arrangements include variable payments that vary depending on throughput. Such variable lease payments are excluded from the calculation of the right-of-use asset and are recognized in the period in which the obligation is incurred.

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO CBI	NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO CBI For the six months and three months ended August 31, 2018 , net income (loss) per common share – diluted for Class A Common Stock has been 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. For the six months and three months ended August 31, 2018 , net income (loss) per common share – diluted for Class B Convertible Common Stock has been computed using the two-class method and does not assume conversion of Class B Convertible Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock. We have excluded 23,316,505 and 23,316,411 of Class B Convertible Common Stock and 3,367,943 and 3,304,955 of shares issuable under the assumed exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2019 , respectively, as the effect of including these would have been anti-dilutive.

The guarantees are full and unconditional, as those terms are used in Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, except that a Subsidiary Guarantor can be automatically released and relieved of its obligations under certain customary circumstances contained in the indentures governing our senior notes. These customary circumstances include, so long as other applicable provisions of the indentures are adhered to, the termination or release of a Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee of other indebtedness or upon the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of our senior notes. Separate financial information for our Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented because we have determined that such financial information would not be material to investors.

Business Segment Information

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION	BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION Through February 28, 2019, our internal management financial reporting consisted of two business divisions: (i) Beer and (ii) Wine and Spirits. Beginning March 1, 2019, as a result of our November 2018 Canopy Investment and a change in our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) on March 1, 2019, we have changed our internal management financial reporting to consist of three business divisions: (i) Beer, (ii) Wine and Spirits, and (iii) Canopy. Consequently, beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we report our operating results in four segments: (i) Beer, (ii) Wine and Spirits, (iii) Corporate Operations and Other, and (iv) Canopy. The Canopy Equity Method Investment makes up the Canopy segment. 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 portfolio that includes higher-margin, higher-growth wine brands complemented by certain higher-end spirits brands. Amounts included in the Corporate Operations and Other segment consist of costs of executive management, corporate development, corporate finance, corporate growth and strategy, human resources, internal audit, investor relations, legal, public relations, and information technology, as well as our investments made through our corporate venture capital function . All costs 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 CODM’s evaluation of the operating income (loss) 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. Long-lived tangible assets and total asset information by segment is not provided to, or reviewed by, our CODM as it is not used to make strategic decisions, allocate resources, or assess performance. 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 Six Months Ended August 31, For the Three Months Ended August 31, 2019 2018 2019 2018 (in millions) Cost of product sold Strategic business development costs $ (62.5 ) $ — $ (18.0 ) $ — Settlements of undesignated commodity derivative contracts (48.4 ) (5.1 ) (18.4 ) (3.6 ) Accelerated depreciation (5.3 ) (5.0 ) (1.8 ) (1.6 ) Flow through of inventory step-up (1.2 ) (1.4 ) (0.8 ) (0.8 ) Net gain (loss) on undesignated commodity derivative contracts 26.8 9.6 10.9 (5.8 ) Recovery of (loss on) inventory write-down 8.6 (1.5 ) 8.6 — Total cost of product sold (82.0 ) (3.4 ) (19.5 ) (11.8 ) Selling, general, and administrative expenses Net gain (loss) on foreign currency derivative contracts associated with acquisition of investment — (7.1 ) — (7.1 ) Restructuring and other strategic business development costs (50.1 ) (8.6 ) (26.5 ) (4.3 ) Transaction, integration, and other acquisition-related costs (5.5 ) (1.0 ) (3.2 ) (1.0 ) Impairment of intangible assets (11.0 ) — (11.0 ) — Deferred compensation — (16.3 ) — — Other gains (losses) (1) 1.1 8.5 (12.3 ) 8.5 Total selling, general, and administrative expenses (65.5 ) (24.5 ) (53.0 ) (3.9 ) Comparable Adjustments, Operating income (loss) $ (147.5 ) $ (27.9 ) $ (72.5 ) $ (15.7 ) (1) Includes a gain of $11.8 million for the six months ended August 31, 2019 , in connection with the increase in our ownership interest in Nelson’s Green Brier and a loss of $11.4 million and $13.3 million for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2019 , respectively, in connection with an increase in estimated fair value of a contingent liability associated with a prior period acquisition. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described for the Company in Note 1 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2019 Annual Report, and include the recently adopted accounting guidance described in Note 2 and Note 14 herein. Amounts included below for the Canopy segment represent 100% of Canopy’s reported results on a two-month lag, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP , and converted from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars. Although we own less than 100% of the outstanding shares of Canopy, 100% of the Canopy results are included in the information below and subsequently eliminated in order to reconcile to our consolidated financial statements .

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Leases	Recently adopted accounting guidance In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance for the accounting for leases. Under this guidance, a lessee recognizes assets and liabilities on its balance sheet for most leases. Lease expense continues to be consistent with previous guidance. Additionally, this guidance requires enhanced disclosures regarding the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. We adopted the guidance on March 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach, accordingly, prior period balances and disclosures have not been restated. We elected the package of transition practical expedients for expired or existing contracts, which retains prior conclusions reached on lease identification, classification, and initial direct costs incurred. We finalized the implementation of changes to our accounting policies, systems and controls, including a new leasing software to capture the required data for accounting and disclosure. The adoption of this guidance resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets of $585.4 million and operating lease liabilities of $619.7 million as of March 1, 2019, and did not have a material impact on our results of operations or liquidity. For additional information on leases, refer to Note 14 .
