Constellation Brands posts smaller‑than‑expected quarterly sales drop on steady Mexican beer demand

April 8 (Reuters) – Corona beer maker Constellation Brands posted a smaller-than-expected drop in fourth-quarter sales on Wednesday, helped by stable demand for its Mexican lager brands such ​as Pacifico and Victoria.

Lower prices and a sharper ‌marketing strategy helped lift demand for the company’s key beers, including Modelo Especial and Corona Sunbrew, even as the broader U.S. alcohol market was muted due to macroeconomic uncertainty.
