The Board of Directors

We consent to the incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement to be

report dated April 9, 2003, except as to Notes 2 and 21, which are as of October

Brands, Inc. and subsidiaries as of February 28, 2003, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash

Constellation Brands, Inc. dated November 24, 2003, and to the reference to our

Our report refers to our audit of the disclosures added and reclassifications
and adjustments that were applied to restate the February 28, 2002 and 2001
consolidated financial statements, which were applied to reflect the adoption of
recent accounting pronouncements, a change in the Company's reportable segments,
and an adjustment of stock-based compensation disclosures, as more fully
described in Notes 1, 2 and 21 to the consolidated financial statements.
However, we were not engaged to audit, review or apply any procedures to the
February 28, 2002 and 2001 consolidated financial statements other than with
respect to such disclosures, reclassifications and adjustments.
