amount of 3.750% senior notes due 2050 (the "2050 notes" and together with the 2030 notes, the "notes"). The 2030 notes and the 2050 notes are

This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, which could cause actual
results to differ materially from those set forth in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact
included in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein,
are forward-looking statements. When used in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein, the words "anticipate," "intend," "expect," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements,
although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document in
which such statements appear. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance
that such expectations will prove to be correct. In addition to the risks and uncertainties of ordinary business operations and conditions in the general
economy and markets in which we compete, our forward-looking statements are also subject to the risk and uncertainty that (i) the duration and impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic, including but not limited to the closure of nonessential businesses, which may include our manufacturing facilities, and other
associated governmental containment actions, may vary from our current expectations; (ii) the actual balance of supply and demand for our products will
vary from current expectations due to, among other reasons, actual raw material supply, actual shipments to distributors and actual consumer demand,
(iii) the actual demand, net sales, and volume trends for our products will vary from current expectations due to, among other reasons, actual shipments to
distributors, and actual consumer demand, (iv) the amount, timing, and source of funds for any share repurchases or exercises of warrants to purchase stock
of Canopy Growth Corporation ("Canopy"), if any, may vary due to market conditions, our cash and debt position, the impact of the beer operations
expansion activities, the impact of our investments in Canopy, any future exercise of Canopy warrants, the expected impacts of the New Wine and Spirits
Transactions (as defined below), and the opportunities to divest the Paul Masson Grande Amber Brandy brand and concentrate business excluded from the
Revised Wine and Spirits Transaction (as defined below) to companies with more aligned business strategies (the "Other Wine and Spirits Transactions"),
and other factors as determined by management from time to time, (v) the amount and timing of future dividends may differ from our current expectations
if our ability to use cash flow to fund dividends is affected by unanticipated increases in total net debt, we are unable to generate cash flow at anticipated
levels, or we fail to generate expected earnings, (vi) the fair value of our investments in Canopy may vary due to market and economic conditions in
Canopy's markets and business locations, (vii) the accuracy of management's projections relating to the Canopy investment may vary from management's
current expectations due to Canopy's actual operational results and market and economic conditions; (viii) the timeframe and actual costs associated with
the beer operations expansion activities may vary from management's current expectations due to market conditions, our cash and debt position, receipt of
required regulatory approvals by the expected dates and on the expected terms, and other factors as determined by management, (ix) any consummation of
the New Wine and Spirits Transactions, or the Other Wine and Spirits Transactions, and any actual date of consummation of any

of them may vary from our current expectations; the actual restructuring charge, if any, will vary based on management's final plans, the amount of
additional loss, if any, on the future write-down of assets held for sale will vary based on the form of consideration, amount of consideration actually
received, and future brand performance, (x) any impact of U.S. federal laws on the transaction between Acreage Holdings, Inc. and Canopy (the "Acreage
Transaction"), or upon the implementation of that transaction, or the impact of the Acreage Transaction upon our future ownership level in Canopy or our
future share of Canopy's reported earnings and losses, may vary from management's current expectations, and (xi) the time to return to our targeted
leverage ratio may vary from management's current expectations due to market conditions, our ability to generate cash flow at expected levels and our
ability to generate expected earnings. The Company's agreement to sell a portion of its wine and spirits business, as revised in December 2019 (the
"Revised Wine and Spirits Transaction"), and the Company's agreement to sell its New Zealand-based Nobilo Wine brand and certain related assets each
as disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 29, 2020 (the "Nobilo Transaction" and with the Revised Wine
and Spirits Transaction, the "New Wine and Spirits Transactions") are subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including receipt of required
regulatory clearances and governmental approvals. The Nobilo Transaction is also conditioned on completion of the Revised Wine and Spirits Transaction.
Additional important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by our forward-looking statements
contained, or incorporated by reference, in this prospectus supplement are those described under the caption "Risk Factors" and in our other filings with the
SEC.

powerful, consumer-connected, high-quality brands like Corona Extra, Modelo Especial, Robert Mondavi, Kim Crawford, Meiomi and SVEDKA
Vodka. In the U.S. market, we are one of the top growth contributors at retail among beverage alcohol suppliers. In the U.S. beer market, we are the
third-largest beer company and leader in the high end. We are a leading, higher-end wine and spirits company in the U.S. market. Many of our

as well as a variety of joint ventures with various other entities, both within and outside the United States.
Our principal executive offices are located at 207 High Point Drive, Building 100, Victor, New York 14564 and our telephone number is

The following summary of the terms of the notes is not complete. For a more detailed description of the notes, see "Description of the
Notes." We define capitalized terms used in this summary in "Description of the Notes--Certain Definitions."

Issuer
Constellation Brands, Inc.

Securities Offered
$600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.875% Senior Notes due 2030. $600,000,000
aggregate principal amount of 3.750% Senior Notes due 2050 .

Maturity
The 2030 notes will mature on May 1, 2030, and the 2050 notes will mature on May 1, 2050.

Interest
Interest on the 2030 notes will accrue at a rate of 2.875% per year, and interest on the 2050
notes will accrue at a rate of 3.750% per year. Each series of notes will pay interest semi-
annually in cash in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning November 1,
2020. See "Description of the Notes--Interest Payments."

Ranking
The notes of each series will be our senior unsecured obligations, will rank equally with all
of our other senior unsecured indebtedness, and will be effectively subordinated to the
indebtedness outstanding under any secured debt we may incur to the extent of the value of
the assets securing such debt. Holders of the notes of each series will not have a direct claim
on assets of our subsidiaries and the notes will be structurally subordinated to all
indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries, including borrowings under the senior
revolving credit facility in favor of a wholly-owned Luxembourg subsidiary of the Company.

As of February 29, 2020, we had approximately (i) $12.2 billion aggregate principal amount
of senior indebtedness outstanding, none of which was secured, and (ii) $1,749.2 million of

424B2
available undrawn commitments under the senior revolving credit facility, none of which

would be secured. As of February 29, 2020, our subsidiaries had approximately $2.2 billion
of liabilities. For the fiscal year ended February 29, 2020, approximately $5.9 billion of our
net sales, respectively, were from our subsidiaries. See "Capitalization."

respect to the 2030 notes, February 1, 2030 (three months prior to the maturity date of the
2030 notes), and (ii) with respect to the 2050 notes, November 1, 2049 (six months prior to
the maturity date of the 2050 notes).

part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes we redeem, together with

of Control
repurchase all the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof,
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date. We might not be able to pay
you the required price for notes you present to us at the time of a change of control because
our senior credit facilities or other indebtedness may prohibit payment or we might not have
enough funds at that time. See "Description of the Notes--Repurchase at the Option of
Holders upon a Change of Control Triggering Event."

Sinking Fund
None.

Covenants

Use of Proceeds
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to redeem prior to maturity all of our
outstanding 2.250% Senior Notes due 2020 in the aggregate principal amount of $700 million
(plus a make-whole premium of approximately $6.0 million) and for general corporate
purposes. See "Use of Proceeds."

Risk Factors
An investment in the notes involves a high degree of risk. Potential investors should
carefully consider the risk factors set forth under the heading "Risk Factors" and in the
documents incorporated by reference herein prior to making a decision to invest in the notes.

424B2
You should carefully consider the risks described below and in our documents filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference herein, as well
as other information included in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus before buying any of the notes.
Risks Relating to the Company
You should carefully consider the risk factors and other cautionary statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended February 29, 2020 and other documents filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference herein.
Risks Relating to the Notes
The notes are unsecured and will be effectively subordinated to our secured debt, if any, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt.
The notes will not be secured by any of our assets. As of February 29, 2020, we had no secured debt. Our obligations under our senior credit
facilities are currently not secured. In addition, the indenture governing the notes will permit us and our subsidiaries to incur certain additional debt that is
secured by liens on our assets without equally and ratably securing the notes. If the Company becomes insolvent or is liquidated, or if payment under our
secured debt is accelerated, the holders of our secured debt would be entitled to exercise the remedies available to a secured lender under applicable law
and pursuant to the agreement governing such debt. In any such event, because the notes will not be secured by any of our assets, it is possible that there
would be no assets remaining from which claims of the holders of the notes could be satisfied following repayment of our secured debt or, if any such
assets remained, such assets might be insufficient to satisfy such claims fully.
Our ability to make payments on the notes depends on our ability to receive dividends from our subsidiaries, and the notes will be structurally
subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries.
We are a holding company and conduct almost all of our operations through our subsidiaries. As of February 29, 2020, approximately 94.2%
of our tangible assets were held by our subsidiaries. The ownership interests of our subsidiaries represent substantially all the assets of the holding
company. Accordingly, we are dependent on the cash flows of our subsidiaries to meet our obligations, including the payment of the principal and interest
on the notes.
Holders of the notes will not have a direct claim on assets of our subsidiaries and the notes will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness
and other liabilities of our subsidiaries, including any borrowings under our senior revolving credit facility in favor of a wholly-owned Luxembourg
subsidiary of the Company. For the fiscal year ended February 29, 2020, approximately $5.9 billion of our net sales were from our subsidiaries. As of
February 29, 2020, our subsidiaries had approximately $2.2 billion of liabilities.
Credit ratings assigned to the notes may not reflect all risks of your investment in the notes.
The credit ratings assigned to the notes are limited in scope, and do not address all material risks relating to an investment in the notes, but
rather reflect only the view of each rating agency at the time the rating is issued. An explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from
such rating agency. There can be no assurance that such credit ratings will remain in effect for any given period of time or that a rating will not be
lowered, suspended or withdrawn entirely by any of the applicable rating agencies, if, in such rating agency's judgment, circumstances so warrant. Agency
credit ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security. Each agency's rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency's
rating. Actual or

S-7
Table of Contents
anticipated changes, upgrades or downgrades in the credit ratings assigned to the notes, including any announcement that such ratings are under review for
an upgrade or downgrade, could affect the market value of the notes and, in the event of a downgrade, increase our corporate borrowing costs, including
with respect to our outstanding notes. The reports of the rating agencies do not form a part of, and are not incorporated by reference into, this prospectus
supplement.
We may not be able to repurchase the notes upon a change of control triggering event.
We may be required to offer to repurchase all of the notes of a series upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event with respect
to such series of notes. Our senior credit facilities currently also provide that certain change of control events constitute a default. If we experience a change
of control that triggers a default under our senior revolving credit facility, our restated 2018 senior term credit facility or our restated 2019 senior term
credit facility, such default could result in amounts outstanding under our senior credit facilities being declared due and payable. We would be prohibited
from purchasing the notes unless, and until, such time as our indebtedness under all of our senior credit facilities was repaid in full. There can be no
assurance that we would have sufficient financial resources available to satisfy all of our obligations under our senior credit facilities and these notes in the
event of a change of control. Our failure to purchase the notes as required under the indenture governing the notes would result in a default under the
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/16918/000119312520119285/d904077d424b2.htm[4/27/2020 8:39:12 AM]

indenture, which could have material adverse consequences for us and the holders of the notes. See "Description of the Notes--Repurchase at the Option of
Holders Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event."
The condition of the financial markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future, which could
have an adverse effect on the market prices of the notes.
The trading prices of the notes will be directly affected by the prevailing interest rates being paid by companies similar to us, and the overall
condition of the financial and credit markets. It is impossible to predict the prevailing interest rates or the condition of the financial and credit markets. The
condition of the financial and credit markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future, which could
have an adverse effect on the market prices of the notes.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that the aggregate net proceeds from the sale of the notes will be approximately $1,183.3 million (after deducting underwriter
discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses). We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to redeem prior to maturity all of our
outstanding 2.250% Senior Notes due 2020 in the aggregate principal amount of $700 million, plus a make-whole premium of approximately $6.0 million,
and for general corporate purposes. Pending any such uses we will invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing instruments. Certain of the
underwriters and/or their affiliates may hold positions in our outstanding 2.250% Senior Notes due 2020 and thus may receive a portion of the net proceeds
from the sale of the notes through the redemption of our 2.250% Senior Notes due 2020. See "Underwriting."

DIVIDEND POLICY
We have paid cash dividends on our common stock since May 2015. We currently expect to continue to pay a regular quarterly cash dividend
to stockholders of our common stock in the future, but such payments are subject to approval of our Board of Directors and are dependent upon our
financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors, including those set forth under Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2020, which are incorporated herein by reference. In addition, the terms of our senior credit
facilities may restrict the payment of cash dividends on our common stock under certain circumstances. Any indentures for debt securities issued in the
future, the terms of any preferred stock issued in the future and any credit agreements entered into in the future may also restrict or prohibit the payment of
cash dividends on our common stock.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
The following discussion of the terms of the notes of each series supplements the description of the general terms and provisions of the debt
securities contained in the accompanying prospectus and identifies any general terms and provisions described in the accompanying prospectus that will not
apply to the notes.
Unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise, references in this section to "we," "us," "our" and the "Company" refer to
Constellation Brands, Inc. only and not to its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in the description below have the
definitions given to them under "Certain Definitions" below.

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/16918/000119312520119285/d904077d424b2.htm[4/27/2020 8:39:12 AM]

424B2
The notes of each series will be issued under an indenture and a supplemental indenture thereto (together, the "indenture"), between us and
Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as trustee. You should read the accompanying prospectus for a general discussion of the terms and provisions
of the indenture.
The indenture does not limit the amount of notes, debentures or other evidences of indebtedness that we may issue thereunder and provides that
notes, debentures or other evidences of indebtedness may be issued from time to time thereunder in one or more series. We are initially offering the notes
in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000,000 (in the case of the 2030 notes), and $600,000,000 (in the case of the 2050 notes). At any time following
the issuance of the notes, we may, without the consent of the holders, issue additional notes of any series (which are referred to as such below) and thereby
increase that principal amount in the future, on the same terms and conditions and with the same CUSIP number as the notes of such series we offer by this
prospectus supplement; provided that if any such additional notes are not fungible with the existing notes of such series for United States federal income
tax purposes, such additional notes will be issued with a different CUSIP number from the previously issued notes of such series.
The 2030 notes will mature on May 1, 2030 and will bear interest at a rate of 2.875% per year. The 2050 notes will mature on May 1, 2050 and
will bear interest at a rate of 3.750% per year. In each case, we:

· will pay interest to the person in whose name a note is registered at the close of business on the May 1 or November 1 preceding the

interest payment date;

· will compute interest on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months;

· will make payments on the notes at the offices of the trustee; and

· may make payments by wire transfer for notes held in book-entry form or by check mailed to the address of the person entitled to the

payment as it appears in the note register.
If any interest payment date or maturity or redemption date falls on a day that is not a business day, the required payment shall be made on the
next business day as if it were made on the date such payment was due and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable from and after such interest
payment date or maturity or redemption date, as the case may be, to such next business day. "Business day" means any day that is not a day on which
banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or by executive order issued by a governmental authority or agency
regulating such banking institutions, to close.
We will issue the notes only in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in
excess thereof.

Ranking
The notes will be our senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of our other senior unsecured indebtedness and will be
effectively subordinated to the indebtedness outstanding under any secured debt we may incur to the extent of the value of the assets securing such
indebtedness. Holders of the notes will not have a direct claim on assets of our subsidiaries and the notes will be structurally subordinated to all
indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries.
We are a holding company and conduct almost all of our operations through our subsidiaries. Consequently, our ability to pay our obligations,
including our obligation to pay interest on the notes and to repay the principal amount of the notes at maturity, upon redemption, upon acceleration or
otherwise, will depend upon our subsidiaries' earnings and advances or loans made by them to us (and potentially dividends or distributions made by them
to us). Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due on the notes or to
make funds available to us to do so. Our subsidiaries' ability to make advances or loans to us or to pay dividends or make other distributions to us will
depend upon their operating results and will be subject to applicable laws and contractual restrictions, if any. The indenture will not limit our subsidiaries'
ability to enter into other agreements that prohibit or restrict dividends or other payments or advances to us. Except with respect to the covenants described
below under "--Limitation upon Liens" and "--Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions," the indenture does not restrict or limit the ability of any
subsidiary to incur, create, assume or guarantee indebtedness or encumber its assets or properties. As of February 29, 2020, we had approximately (i)
$12.2 billion aggregate principal amount of senior indebtedness outstanding, none of which was secured, and (ii) $1,749.2 million of unused commitments
under our senior revolving credit facility, none of which would be secured. As of February 29, 2020, our subsidiaries had approximately $2.2 billion of
liabilities. See "Capitalization."
