Exhibit 99.2

Unaudited pro forma combined financial information to reflect Constellation Brands, Inc.’s
combined financial information as if the disposition of Constellation Brands, Inc.’s
Australian and United Kingdom business occurred as of and for all periods presented.

On December 23, 2010, Constellation Brands, Inc. (“Constellation”), CBI Australia Holdings Pty Limited (“CAHL”), Vincor U.K. Limited (“VUK”) and various entities affiliated with CHAMP Private Equity (“CHAMP”), a private equity firm based in Sydney, Australia, entered into a Share Subscription Agreement (the “Share Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which CHAMP agreed to subscribe for shares in CAHL and VUK (the “Transaction”). CAHL and VUK are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Constellation. On January 31, 2011, the parties completed the Transaction contemplated in the Share Subscription Agreement, as amended, and CHAMP acquired an 80.1% interest in CAHL and in VUK. At the time the Transaction was completed, CAHL and VUK held virtually all Constellation’s Australian, United Kingdom, and South African brands, wineries, facilities, and vineyards. Additionally, CAHL held Constellation’s Japanese distribution company and VUK held Constellation’s 50% interest in Matthew Clark (Holdings) Limited, which owns and operates a United Kingdom drinks wholesale business. Constellation has indirectly retained a 19.9% interest in each of CAHL and VUK and a limited number of Australian brands and vineyards. In connection with the Transaction, Constellation received cash in an amount equivalent to approximately AUD$230 million, subject to certain adjustments.

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information of Constellation consists of (i) an unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of November 30, 2010 (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet”), (ii) an unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended February 28, 2010, (iii) an unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the nine months ended November 30, 2010 (collectively, the “Pro Forma Statements of Operations”), and (iv) notes to the unaudited pro forma statements (collectively, the “Pro Forma Statements”).

The Pro Forma Balance Sheet as of November 30, 2010, reflects (i) the disposition of Constellation’s Australian and United Kingdom business (“CWAE”) and (ii) and pro forma adjustments, as if the Transaction had occurred on November 30, 2010. The Pro Forma Statements of Operations for the year ended February 28, 2010, and the nine months ended November 30, 2010, reflect (i) the disposition of CWAE and (ii) pro forma adjustments, as if the Transaction had occurred on March 1, 2009.

Constellation’s November 30, 2010, information was derived from its unaudited consolidated financial statements filed in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended November 30, 2010. Constellation’s February 28, 2010, information was derived from its audited consolidated financial statements filed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the transaction described above, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) with respect to the statement of operations information, expected to have a continuing impact on the Constellation’s consolidated results.

The Pro Forma Statements are for illustrative purposes only and should be read in conjunction with Constellation’s separate historical consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and with the accompanying notes to the Pro Forma Statements. The Pro Forma Statements are based upon currently available information and upon certain assumptions that Constellation believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The Pro Forma Statements do not purport to represent what Constellation’s financial position or results of operations would actually have been if the aforementioned transaction had in fact occurred on such dates or at the beginning of the periods indicated, nor do they project Constellation’s financial position or results of operations at any future date or for any future period.
