Filed under: Food & beverage brands · Companies that support Israel
Background
Constellation Brands has no documented donations, investments, operations, contracts, or statements supporting Israel. A common confusion drives search interest in the company: Constellation owns Corona, Modelo, and Pacifico only in the United States (perpetual rights acquired from Anheuser-Busch InBev in the 2013 divestiture of Grupo Modelo's U.S. business); everywhere else — including the Middle East — those beer brands belong to AB InBev, so Corona sold outside the U.S. has no connection to Constellation. The company has no operations or subsidiaries in Israel, and its SEC filings mention Israel only in geopolitical risk boilerplate and in 2004/2006 bank lists naming Israel Discount Bank of New York among lenders. Its corporate PAC has never given to pro-Israel committees — the only 'Israel' matches in its FEC disbursement records are routine contributions to former New York congressman Steve Israel, whose surname causes the false positive. The organized boycotts that do target Constellation concern water extraction around its since-abandoned Mexicali brewery project in Mexico and past U.S. political donations, not Israel, and the company is absent from BDS boycott lists.
