Constellation Brands is the largest provider of alcoholic beverages across the beer, wine, and spirits categories in the US, generating 84% of revenue from Mexican beer imports under top-selling brands such as Modelo and Corona.

With its exclusive rights tied to the Mexican beer brands, effective only in the US, the firm has limited revenue exposure to international markets.
