Item 6.              Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The General Corporation Law of Delaware (Section 102) allows a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or to any of its stockholders for monetary damage for a breach of his/her fiduciary duty as a director, except in the case where the director breached his/her duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase or redemption in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.  The Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant contains a provision which eliminates directors’ personal liability as set forth above.

The General Corporation Law of Delaware (Section 145) gives Delaware corporations broad powers to indemnify their present and former directors and officers and those of affiliated corporations or other entities against expenses incurred in the defense of any lawsuit to which they are made parties by reason of being or having been such directors or officers, subject to specified conditions and exclusions; gives a director or officer who successfully defends an action the right to be so indemnified; authorizes the Registrant to advance expenses upon receipt of an undertaking by the person seeking indemnity to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification; and authorizes the Registrant to buy directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.  Such indemnification is not exclusive of any other right to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or otherwise.

The Registrant’s amended Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification to the fullest extent authorized by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware for current and former directors and officers of the Registrant and also to persons who are or were serving at the request of the Registrant as directors, officers, employees or agents of other entities (including subsidiaries); provided that, with respect to proceedings initiated by such indemnitee, indemnification shall be provided only if such proceedings were authorized by the Board of Directors.  The right of indemnification is not exclusive of any other right which any person may acquire under any statute, bylaw, agreement, contract, vote of stockholders or otherwise.

From time to time the Registrant has and will enter into agreements with underwriters for securities offerings which provide for indemnification of directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant for losses, claims, damages, or liabilities resulting from an untrue statement made in a registration statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Registrant by or on behalf of such underwriters for inclusion in the registration statement.

The Registrant maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and a corporate reimbursement policy insuring directors and officers against loss arising from claims made arising out of the performance of their duties.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a)     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)       To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i)       To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)       To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; and

(iii)       To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

(2)       That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

- 6 -

(3)       To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b)       The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(h)       Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 of the Registration Statement, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Constellation Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by the Company on August 7, 2009 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), for the purpose of registering with the Commission the offer, issuance and sale of up to 14,000,000 shares of the Class A Common Stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share (“Class A Stock”), and 10,000,000 shares of the Class 1 Common Stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share (“Class 1 Stock”), in each case issuable pursuant to the Constellation Brands, Inc. Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan, Amended and Restated as of December 6, 2007 (as amended, the “Plan”).  The 14,000,000 shares of Class A Stock and the 10,000,000 shares of Class 1 Stock being registered on the Registration Statement are collectively referred to herein as the “Shares”.

This opinion is being delivered to you in connection with the Registration Statement.

We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of all such records of the Company and all such agreements, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company, and such other documents, certificates and corporate or other records as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth herein, including (i) the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended to the date hereof, (ii) the By-Laws of the Company, as amended to the date hereof, (iii) the Plan, and (iv) certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the Plan.

As to questions of fact material to our opinion expressed herein, we have, when relevant facts were not independently established, relied upon certificates of, and information received from, the Company and/or representatives of the Company.  We have made no independent investigation of the facts stated in such certificates or as to any information received from the Company and/or representatives of the Company and do not opine as to the accuracy of such factual matters.  In rendering our opinion, we have assumed that at the time of the issuance of the Shares, the issuance of the Shares will not cause the number of then issued shares of Class A Stock or Class 1 Stock to exceed the number of then authorized shares of Class A Stock or Class 1 Stock, respectively.

Members of our firm involved in the preparation of this opinion are licensed to practice law in the State of New York and we do not purport to be experts on, or to express any opinion herein concerning, the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and the other qualifications and limitations contained herein, and after (a) the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act and assuming that such effectiveness remains in effect throughout the period during which the Shares are offered, issued and sold pursuant to the Plan, (b) the Shares issued pursuant to the Plan have, if required, been duly qualified or registered, as the case may be, for offer, issuance and sale under applicable state securities laws and all applicable securities laws are complied with, (c) all necessary action by the Board of Directors or Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company has been taken to duly authorize the offer, issuance and sale of the Shares issued pursuant to the Plan, and (d) the Shares issued pursuant to the Plan have been delivered pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Plan and related agreements and instruments, we are of the opinion that the Shares issued pursuant to the Plan will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.  In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission.

This opinion is intended solely for your benefit in connection with the transactions described above and, except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, may not be otherwise communicated to, reproduced, filed publicly or relied upon by, any other person or entity for any other purpose without our express prior written consent.  This opinion is limited to the matters stated herein, and no opinion or belief is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated herein.  The opinions expressed herein are rendered as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any undertaking to advise you of changes in law or fact which may affect the continued correctness of any of our opinions as of a later date.

We wish to advise you that James A. Locke III, a Senior Counsel to this firm, is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.  As a member of the Registrant’s Board of Directors, Mr. Locke is eligible to receive awards under the Plan.  Mr. Locke presently owns, and has options to acquire, securities of the Company.  Other attorneys with Nixon Peabody LLP may own securities of the Company.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Nixon Peabody LLP
