I'm pleased to introduce you to our next speaker, Rob Sands, President and CEO of Constellation Brands. In his first year as a CEO, Constellation has faced some challenges. The U.S. wine business had to deal with a sizeable inventory destocking. Corona was seeing some slower growth after price increases and the UK remains a challenging place to do business for many of the alcoholic beverage companies. In the midst of these challenges, Constellation Brands forged its leadership in the premium wines segment with its acquisition of Fortune Brands' wine portfolio, and now with most of the challenges hopefully behind us, we look forward to hearing from Rob on how he can put Constellation back on the growth footing again. Before Rob starts, I'm going to introduce you to Patty Jahn-Urlaub, the Investor Relations from Constellation and she'll read a disclosure.Patty?... 5/12/2008 3:05:00 PMConstellation Brands, Inc.54.0000FinalConstellation Brands, Inc. at Goldman Sachs Consumer Products Conference TranscriptSTZ10:10am ETTranscriptT1841530Credit & Investment ResearchThomson Street Eventshttp://www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/ccbn/B1803058ccbn/B1803058norm...Formed JV with Punch Taverns in UK to strengthen Matthew Clark's position as UK's largest independent drinks wholesaler serving On-Trade industry. ... 4/3/2008 3:05:00 PMConstellation Brands, Inc.54.0000EditedQ4 2008 Constellation Brands, Inc.
