Constellation Brands’ Pacifico Unveils Transformable Outdoor Gear Prototype Series

Constellation Brands’ (NYSE: STZ) Pacifico brand unveiled Pacifi-Go, a new series of experimental outdoor gear designed to transition from outdoor activities to post-adventure social settings.

The prototype collection includes three products: the Cold-One Coat, a waterproof jacket with a removable hood that converts into an ice bucket; the Kickback Kickstand, which transforms a wakeboard into a campfire bench; and the Tall Boy Tent, a backpack beer cooler containing a compact beach shelter.

Rather than immediately launching the products commercially, Pacifico will test the limited prototypes with a group of professional and amateur action-sports athletes, outdoor enthusiasts and creators. Participants will use the gear in real-world conditions and provide feedback on its performance and functionality.

Pacifico will also use its social-media channels to let consumers follow the testing process and provide feedback on which concepts they would like to see developed further.

The initiative represents a brand-engagement and product experimentation campaign for Pacifico as Constellation Brands continues to build the beer brand’s positioning around outdoor activities and adventure.
Constellation Brands (STZ) Stock Rises Premarket as Beer Business Strength Offsets Wine Weakness

Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ) shares gained 2.4% in premarket trading after the company reported fiscal first-quarter 2027 results that highlighted resilient beer demand, strong earnings growth, and reaffirmed its full-year comparable earnings outlook.

The company posted net sales of $2.43 billion, down 3% year over year on a reported basis, reflecting the impact of last year's wine divestitures. However, organic net sales increased 3%, while reported earnings per share climbed 31% to $3.79 and comparable EPS rose 7% to $3.43.

Constellation's Beer business remained the key growth driver, with net sales rising 2% as higher shipment volumes and favorable pricing offset a slight decline in depletions. Modelo Especial retained its position as the top-selling beer brand by dollar sales in U.S. tracked channels, while Pacifico and Victoria continued delivering strong market share gains.

Although reported Wine and Spirits sales fell sharply following previously announced divestitures, the remaining portfolio generated 8% organic net sales growth and continued to outperform the broader category in U.S. tracked channels.

The company also generated $662 million in operating cash flow and $485 million in free cash flow during the quarter, repurchased $324 million of shares year-to-date, and declared a quarterly dividend of $1.03 per share. Management updated reported EPS guidance to $11.50-$12.20 while reaffirming comparable EPS guidance of $11.20-$11.90 for fiscal 2027.

Investors appeared encouraged by the continued strength of Constellation's premium beer portfolio, solid profitability, and confidence in the company's outlook, pushing STZ shares roughly 2.4% higher in premarket trading.
Constellation Brands announced the reopening of its flagship Robert Mondavi Winery estate in Oakville following a three-year transformation, marking the winery’s 60th anniversary and a major modernization of one of Napa Valley’s most iconic wine destinations.

The redesigned estate introduces upgraded visitor experiences, including expanded indoor-outdoor tasting areas, a new hospitality and culinary center, and enhanced production facilities. The renovation preserves key historic elements while integrating contemporary architecture and advanced winemaking technology aimed at improving precision and quality.

At the core of the transformation is a renewed focus on estate-driven winemaking, supported by the organically certified To Kalon Vineyard and new production capabilities such as optical sorting and temperature-controlled fermentation systems. These upgrades are intended to enhance the expression and consistency of the winery’s premium wines.

To commemorate the reopening, the winery will release a limited-edition 60th anniversary Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, while also launching new curated tasting and tour experiences for visitors. The reopening positions Robert Mondavi Winery to strengthen its role as a leading luxury wine destination and reinforce its long-standing legacy in Napa Valley.
Constellation Brands announced an agreement to acquire the remaining stake in HOPWTR, expanding its presence in the fast-growing non-alcoholic drinks segment.

HOPWTR, a calorie-free sparkling water infused with hops, adaptogens, and nootropics, will continue operating with its existing leadership team, including founder and CEO Jordan Bass.

The deal, expected to close in early April 2026, aligns with Constellation’s strategy to diversify its portfolio and capture evolving consumer preferences toward moderation and functional beverages.
