The Wine Group LLC, Livermore, Calif., announced that it entered into an agreement with Constellation Brands, Inc. to acquire several wine brands: Cook’s, J. Rogét, Meiomi, Robert Mondavi Private Selection, SIMI and Woodbridge.

Additionally, the agreement includes TWG’s acquisition of three facilities and approximately 6,600 owned and leased vineyard acres throughout California. The facilities include production sites in Lodi, Calif., and Monterey County, Calif., as well as the SIMI winery in Healdsburg, Calif. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory review.

In addition to building on TWG’s ongoing focus to grow and diversify its portfolio, the transaction will bring the company several popular, premium, and ultra-premium brands, additional on-premise volume, an expanded retail presence, new in-house operational capabilities, and more.

“We’re thrilled to enter into an agreement with Constellation to acquire these highly regarded brands and assets,” said John Sutton, CEO of The Wine Group, in a statement. “As one of the world’s largest wine producers, The Wine Group is proud of our more than 40-year legacy of providing some of the world’s most beloved wine brands with exceptional operational excellence. The addition of these assets will build on our commitment to being a consumer-led company, delivering a diversified portfolio that offers consumers exceptional taste, quality, and value ― for any occasion.”

Constellation’s retained wine portfolio will consist of a collection of highly regarded wines from top regions around the world, predominantly priced $15 and above. This includes iconic Napa Valley brands Robert Mondavi Winery, Schrader, Double Diamond, To Kalon Vineyard Company, Mount Veeder Winery, and The Prisoner Wine Co.; the My Favorite Neighbor family of wine brands from Paso Robles; Kim Crawford from New Zealand; Tuscan producer Ruffino Estates and Ruffino Prosecco; Sea Smoke from Santa Barbara’s Santa Rita Hills AVA, Lingua Franca from Oregon’s Willamette Valley, and more. This collection is complemented by Constellation’s award-winning craft spirits portfolio including High West whiskey, Nelson’s Green Brier whiskey, Mi CAMPO tequila, Casa Noble tequila, and others.

“This transaction reflects our multi-year strategy to reconfigure our business, resulting in a portfolio of higher-end wine and craft spirits brands that are aligned to evolving consumer preferences and help bolster our competitive position,” said Bill Newlands, president and CEO at Constellation Brands. “Concentrating our wine and spirits portfolio in higher-growth segments remains an important element of our overall business strategy and complements our higher-end beer portfolio, aiming to ensure we continue to participate in more consumer occasions across beer, wine, and spirits.”

In preparing to manage a more focused wine and spirits business for Constellation Brands, following the anticipated close of the transaction, and to help ensure the company’s enterprise-wide structure, resources, and investments are aligned to help optimize the performance of the business and drive accelerated growth, the company is undergoing a review of its organizational structuring, it says. This review is anticipated to deliver net annualized cost savings in excess of $200 million by fiscal year 2028 for Constellations Brands. The company expects the majority of this work to be completed within its fiscal year 2026.

The transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approval, and is expected to close immediately following the end of Constellation’s first quarter of its fiscal year 2026.
