                 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                May 31, 1994

     I.  Management Representations:

        The condensed consolidated financial statements included
     herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant
     to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
     Commission applicable to quarterly reporting on Form 10-Q and
     reflect, in the opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary
     to present fairly the financial information for Canandaigua Wine
     Company, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.  All such
     adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information
     and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
     statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted as
     permitted by such rules and regulations. These consolidated
     financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
     consolidated financial statements and related notes, included in
     the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year
     ended August 31, 1993.


     2)       Inventories:

        Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (computed in
     accordance with the last-in, first-out (LIFO) or first-in, first-
     out (FIFO) methods) or market.  The percentage of inventories
     valued using the LIFO method is 93%, 88%, and 97% at May 31,
     1994, August 31, 1993, and May 31, 1993, respectively. 
     Replacement cost of the inventories determined on a FIFO basis
     approximated $215,199,000, $146,421,000, and $91,096,000 at May
     31, 1994, August 31, 1993, and May 31, 1993, respectively.  At
     May 31, 1994, August 31, 1993 and May 31, 1993, the net
     realizable value of the Company's inventories was in excess of
     $215,515,787, $147,165,267, and $91,110,225, respectively.

        Elements of cost include materials, labor and overhead and
     consist of the following:

     </TABLE>


     4)  Acquisitions:

         On October 15, 1993, the Company acquired substantially all
     of the tangible and intangible assets of Vintners International
     Company, Inc. ("Vintners") other than cash and the Hammondsport
     Winery (the "Vintners Assets"), and assumed certain current
     liabilities associated with the ongoing business (the "Vintners
     Acquisition"), for an aggregate purchase price of $148.9 million
     (the "Cash Consideration"), subject to adjustment based upon the
     determination of the Final Net Current Asset Amount (as defined
     below), and paid $8,961,000 of direct acquisition and financing
     costs. In addition, at closing the Company delivered options (the
     "Options") to Vintners and Household Commercial of California,
     Inc., one of Vintners' lenders, to purchase an aggregate of
     500,000 shares (the "Option Shares") of the Company's Class A
     Common Stock, at an exercise price per share of $18.25, which are
     exercisable at any time until October 15, 1996. These options
     have been recorded at $8.42 per share, based upon an independent
     appraisal and $4,210,000 has been reflected as a component of
     additional paid-in-capital.
         Vintners was the United States' fifth largest supplier of
     wine with two of the country's most highly recognized brands,
     Paul Masson and Taylor California Cellars.  The wineries acquired
     from Vintners are the Gonzales winery in Gonzales, California and
     the Paul Masson wineries in Madera and Soledad, California.  In
     addition, the Company is leasing from Vintners the Hammondsport
     winery in Hammondsport, New York.  The lease is for a period of
     18 months from the date of the Vintners Acquisition.

         The Cash Consideration was funded by the Company pursuant to
     (i) approximately $12.6 million of Revolving Loans under the
     Credit Facility (as defined in Note 5 below) of which $11.2
     million funded the Cash Consideration and $1.4 million funded the
     payment of direct acquisition costs; (ii) an accrued liability of
     approximately $7.7 million for the holdback described below and
     (iii) the $130.0 million Subordinated Bank Loan (as defined in
     Note 5 below).  See "Description of Long-Term Debt" under Note 5
     below.

         At closing the Company held back from the Cash Consideration
     approximately 10% of the then estimated net current assets of
     Vintners purchased by the Company, and deposited an additional
     $2.8 million of the Cash Consideration into an escrow to be held
     until October 15, 1995.  If the amount of the net current assets
     as determined after the closing (the "Final Net Current Asset
     Amount") is greater than 90% and less than 100% of the amount of
     net current assets estimated at closing (the "Estimated Net
     Current Asset Amount"), then the Company shall pay into the
     established escrow an amount equal to the Final Net Current Asset
     Amount less 90% of the Estimated Net Current Asset Amount.  If
     the Final Net Current Asset Amount is greater than the Estimated
     Net Current Asset Amount, then, in addition to the payment
     described above, the Company shall pay an amount equal to such
     excess, plus interest from the closing, to Vintners.  If the
     Final Net Current Asset Amount is less than 90% of the Estimated
     Net Current Asset Amount, then the Company shall be paid such
     deficiency out of the escrow account.  As of May 31, 1994, no
     adjustment to the established escrow was required and the Final
     Net Current Asset Amount has not been determined.

         The Vintners Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
     method; accordingly, the Vintners Assets were recorded at fair
     market value at the date of acquisition.  The fair market value
     of the Vintners Assets approximated the aggregate purchase price. 
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the
     results of operations of Vintners since October 15, 1993.

         The Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
     Barton Incorporated ("Barton") on June 29, 1993 (the "Barton
     Acquisition").  The following table presents unaudited pro forma
     results of operations as if the Vintners Acquisition occurred at
     the beginning of the Nine Months ended 5/31/94 and as if both the
     Vintners Acquisition and the Barton Acquisition occurred at the
     beginning of the Nine Months ended 5/31/93, after giving effect
     to certain adjustments for depreciation, amortization of
     intangibles, interest expense on the acquisition debt and related
     income tax effects.  These pro forma results have been prepared
     for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative
     of what would have occurred had the acquisitions been made at the
     beginning of fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively, or of results
     which may occur in the future.

     Description of Long-Term Debt

     Senior Credit Facility

         On October 15, 1993 the Company amended the Senior Credit
     Facility (the "Credit Facility")  in connection with the
     acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Vintners.

         The Credit Facility consists of: (i) a $50.0 million Term
     Loan; (ii) Revolving Loans in an aggregate principal amount,
     together with the aggregate amount of all undrawn or drawn
     letters of credit ("Revolving Letters of Credit"), not to exceed
     $95.0 million; and (iii) a standby irrevocable letter of credit
     of $28.2 million.  The Banks have been given security interests
     in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its
     subsidiaries and each of the Company's principal operating
     subsidiaries has guaranteed, jointly and severally, the Company's
     obligations under the Credit Facility.

         The Revolving Loans and the Term Loan, at the Company's
     option, can be either a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Loan.  A
     Base Rate Loan bears interest at the rate per annum equal to (i)
     the higher of (1) Federal Funds Rate for such day plus 1/2 of 1%,
     or (2) the Chase Bank prime commercial lending rate, plus (ii)
     0.375% (subject to adjustment).  A Eurodollar Loan bears interest
     at London Interbank Offered Rate plus 1.625% (subject to
     adjustment). 
         As of May 31, 1994, the Term Loan outstanding balance was $46
     million, which was a Eurodollar Loan that bears interest at 6.26%
     per annum. As of May 31, 1994, $38.0 million was outstanding
     under the Revolving Loans and approximately $53 million was
     available to be drawn down by the Company.  The Revolving Loans
     are required to be prepaid in such amounts that the aggregate
     amount of Revolving Loans outstanding, together with the drawn
     and undrawn Revolving Letters of Credit, will not exceed the
     Borrowing Base.  The Borrowing Base means the sum of 70% of the
     amount of certain eligible receivables plus 40% of the value of
     certain eligible inventory.  In addition, the Revolving Loans are
     required to be prepaid in such amounts that, for a period of 30
     consecutive days during the last two fiscal quarters of each
     fiscal year, the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans outstanding,
     together with drawn and undrawn Revolving Letters of Credit, will
     not exceed $35.0 million.  The Revolving Loans mature on June 15,
     1999.

         The Company is subject to certain restrictive covenants
     including those relating to additional liens, additional
     indebtedness, the sale of assets, the payment of dividends,
     transactions with affiliates, certain investments and certain
     other fundamental changes and making capital expenditures that
     exceed specified levels.  The Company is also required to
     maintain the following financial covenants above specified
     levels: indebtedness to tangible net worth; tangible net worth;
     fixed charges ratio; operating cash flow to interest expense; and
     current ratio.

         The Company is required to maintain in effect until June 29,
     1995 interest rate swap, cap or collar agreements or other
     similar arrangements (each, an "Interest Rate Protection
     Agreement") which protect the Company against three-month London
     Interbank Offered Rates exceeding 7.5% per annum in an amount at
     least equal to $25.0 million.

     Senior Subordinated Notes

         The Company borrowed $130.0 million under a subordinated bank
     loan agreement (the "Subordinated Bank Loan") provided in
     connection with the Vintners Acquisition.  On December 27, 1993,
     the Company repaid the Subordinated Bank Loan from the proceeds
     of an issuance of $130 million of senior subordinated notes ("the
     Notes") together with borrowings under the revolving loans.  The
     Notes are due 2003 with a stated interest rate of 8.75% per
     annum.  Interest will be payable semi-annually on June 15 and
     December 15 of each year.  The Notes are redeemable at the option
     of the Company, in whole or in part, on or after December 15,
     1998.  The Notes are unsecured and subordinated to the prior
     payment in full of all senior indebtedness of the Company, which
     includes the Credit Facility and, the Notes are guaranteed, on a
     senior subordinated basis, by substantially all of the Company's
     operating subsidiaries.  

         The indenture relating to the Notes contains certain
     covenants, including, but not limited to, (i) limitation on
     indebtedness; (ii) limitation on restricted payments; (iii)
     limitation on transactions with affiliates; (iv) limitation on
     senior subordinated indebtedness; (v) limitation on liens; (vi)
     limitation on sale of assets; (vii) limitation on issuance of
     guarantees of and pledges for indebtedness; (viii) restriction on
     transfer of assets; (ix) limitation on subsidiary capital stock;
     (x) limitation on the creation of any restriction on the ability
     of the Company's subsidiaries to make distributions and other
     payments; and (xi) restrictions on mergers, consolidations and
     the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
     Company to another person.  The limitation on indebtedness
     covenant is governed by a rolling four quarter fixed charge
     coverage ratio covenant requiring a specified minimum.

     Convertible Subordinated Debentures

         On October 18, 1993, the Company called its 7% Convertible
     Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures") for redemption on
     November 19, 1993 at a redemption price of 102.1% plus accrued
     interest.  During the period September 1, 1993 through November
     19, 1993, Debentures in an aggregate principal amount of
     $58,960,000 were converted to 3,235,882 shares of the Company's
     Class A Common Stock at a price of $18.22 per share.  Debentures
     in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $63,000 were
     redeemed.  Interest was accrued on the Debentures until the date
     of conversion but was forfeited by the debentureholders upon
     conversion.  Accrued interest in an amount of approximately
     $1,370,000 was recorded as an addition to additional paid-in-
     capital.

         At the redemption date, the capitalized debenture issuance
     costs of approximately $2,246,000 net of accumulated amortization
     of approximately $677,000 were recorded as a reduction of
     additional paid-in-capital.

     6)  Commitments and Contingencies:

         Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated
     June 29, 1993 among the  Company, Barton Incorporated ("Barton")
     and the former Barton stockholders (the "Selling Shareholders"),
     under which the Company acquired from the Selling Shareholders
     all of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of Barton, the
     Company is obligated to pay out up to an aggregate amount of
     $57.3 million (the Earn-out Amounts) in cash over a three year
     period upon the satisfaction of certain performance goals. 
     During the quarter ended May 31, 1994, the Company accrued $18.2
     million of the Earn-out Amounts as additional purchase price as
     certain performance goals under the Stock Purchase Agreement were
     satisfied.  This amount will be paid out on December 30, 1994.
         In connection with the Vintners Acquisition, the Company has
     assumed Vintners' purchase and crush contracts with certain
     growers and suppliers.  Under the grape purchase contracts, the
     Company is committed to purchase all grape production yielded
     from a specified number of acres for a period of time ranging up
     to five years.  The actual tonnage of grapes that must be
     purchased by the Company will vary each year depending on certain
     factors, including weather, time of harvest, and the agricultural
     practices and location of the growers and suppliers under
     contract.

         The grapes purchased under these contracts are generally
     priced at market value as determined by either the prior year's
     (or an average of the three most recent prior years) Grape Crop
     Report issued by the California Department of Food and
     Agriculture or on prices as reported by the Federal State Market
     News Service.  Some contracts include a minimum base price per
     ton that the Company must pay.  The Company purchased $8,464,000
     of grapes under these contracts during the period October 15,
     1993 through May 31, 1994.  During 1994, in connection with the
     purchase of Vintners, the Company established a reserve for the
     estimated loss on firm purchase commitments of approximately $10 million
     related to the above mentioned contracts.  Based on current and
     anticipated future yields and prices, the Company estimates that
     purchases in the following amounts will be required under these
     contracts during the subsequent four fiscal years:

                    Year 1995               $26,648,000
                    Year 1996               $18,179,000
                    Year 1997                $5,665,000
                    Year 1998                $1,895,000

         For contracts extending beyond 1998, it is not feasible to
     estimate the amounts to be paid.  However, none of the contracts
     with terms extending beyond 1998 are at prices in excess of
     market value, as defined above, and all of the contracts
     extending beyond 1998 are for quantities and varieties less than
     the anticipated future requirements of the business.

         The Company has assumed Vintners' grape crush contract
     obligations with another winery under which the Company is
     obligated to pay $600,000 for crushing and processing of a
     specified tonnage at a fixed price per ton during fiscal 1995.

         The Company has also assumed the lease obligations of
     Vintners, including the lease obligation with the owner of
     certain warehouse facilities no longer used by the Company. 
     Under the terms of the agreement, the Company's lease obligation
     is reduced by the amount of rentals received from a new lessee of
     the facilities.  The Company has accrued the estimated lease
     obligations in excess of the amount of rentals to be received
     from the new lessee.

         At May 31, 1994, aggregate minimum rental commitments under
     various non-cancelable operating lease agreements assumed from
     Vintners for the remainder of fiscal 1994 and thereafter are as
     follows:
                    Remainder of 1994          $184,760
                    Year 1995                  $132,300
                    Year 1996                   $89,498
                    Year 1997                   $77,518
                    Year 1998                   $75,505
                    Thereafter                  $75,505

     7)  Agreement to Import Mexican Beers:

         On March 31, 1994, Barton Beers, Ltd., a wholly owned
     subsidiary of the Company, entered into a new agreement under
     which it will continue importing, marketing and distributing
     Corona Extra, Corona Light, Coronita, Negra Modelo, Modelo
     Especial and Pacifico Beers in the twenty-five primarily western
     states of the United States.  The agreement is retroactive to
     January 1, 1994 and continues through December 31, 1998.  The new
     agreement contains substantially similar provisions as the
     previous agreement, including certain performance criteria.

     8)  Subsequent Event - Almaden and Inglenook Acquisition:
         On June 23, 1994, the Company announced that it and Heublein,
     Inc. ("Heublein") had signed a Letter of Intent outlining the
     terms under which the Company will acquire Almaden, Inglenook and
     other wine brands from Heublein, as well as wineries in Madera,
     Escalon, Paicines and Reedley, California.  The proposed
     acquisition by the Company pursuant to the non-binding
     understanding is subject to, among other matters, execution of a
     definitive purchase agreement and other related agreements and
     regulatory approvals.  Under the proposed transactions, the
     Company would also acquire a grape juice concentrate business run
     by Heublein at the Madera winery, as well as Heublein's minority
     interest in the Madera Glass Company.  In connection with any
     acquisition of these assets, the Company would be required to
     refinance or obtain appropriate consents from the banking
     syndicate under its credit facility.  The Company would
     anticipate funding this acquisition of assets through bank
     financing.  The Company's proposed acquisition transactions with
     Heublein would be significant to the Company and would have a
     material impact on the Company's future results of operations.

     Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
             Condition and Results of Operations

     Results of Operations of the Company

         The Company has realized significant growth in sales and
     profitability over the last two fiscal years primarily as a
     result of acquisitions.  The Company acquired substantially all
     of the assets of Guild Wineries and Distilleries on October 1,
     1991, all of the outstanding capital stock of Barton Incorporated
     ("Barton") on June 29, 1993 ("Barton Acquisition") and
     substantially all of the assets of Vintners International
     Company, Inc. ("Vintners") on October 15, 1993 ("Vintners
     Acquisition").  The Company's results of operations for the
     quarter ended May 31, 1994 include the results of operations of
     Barton and Vintners for the complete period.  The Company's
     results of operations for the nine months ended May 31, 1994
     include the results of operations of Barton for the complete
     period and include the results of the operations of Vintners'
     assets from October 15, 1993, the date of the Vintners
     Acquisition.
         On June 23, 1994, the Company announced that it and Heublein,
     Inc. ("Heublein") had signed a Letter of Intent outlining the
     terms under which the Company will acquire Almaden, Inglenook and
     other wine brands from Heublein, as well as wineries in Madera,
     Escalon, Paicines and Reedley, California.  The proposed
     acquisition by the Company pursuant to the non-binding
     understanding is subject to, among other matters, execution of a
     definitive purchase agreement and other related agreements and
     regulatory approvals.  Under the proposed transactions, the
     Company would also acquire a grape juice concentrate business run
     by Heublein at the Madera winery, as well as Heublein's minority
     interest in the Madera Glass Company.  In connection with any
     acquisition of these assets, the Company would be required to
     refinance or obtain appropriate consents from the banking
     syndicate under its credit facility.  The Company would
     anticipate funding this acquisition of assets through bank
     financing.  The Company's proposed acquisition transactions with
     Heublein would be significant to the Company and would have a
     material impact on the Company's future results of operations. 
     The proposed acquisition transactions with Heublein would
     significantly improve the Company's already strong position as
     the number two wine producer in the industry by virtue of adding
     to the Company's portfolio the Almaden and Inglenook wine brands,
     which the Company believes are currently the third and sixth
     largest selling wines in the United States.  The Company views
     this acquisition as one that would enable the Company to further
     compete with leading brands in the table wine category of the
     wine business and increase the Company's presence in the varietal
     table wine category.

         The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated,
     certain items in the Company's 
     consolidated statements of income expressed as percentage of net
     sales:

     Three Months Ended May 31, 1994 ("Third Quarter 1994") Compared
     to Three Months Ended May 31, 1993 ("Third Quarter 1993")

         Net Sales
         Net sales for the Company's Third Quarter 1994 increased to
     $154.2 million from $60.5 million for Third Quarter 1993, an
     increase of $93.7 million, or approximately 155%. This increase
     resulted from the inclusion of Barton's net
     sales of $67.8 million and $33.1 million of net sales of Vintners'
     products during
     Third Quarter 1994.  Excluding the impact of the Barton and
     Vintners Acquisitions, the Company's net sales decreased $7.2
     million, or 11.8%, when compared to the same period a year ago. 
     This was principally due to a decrease in net sales of the
     Company's non-branded products, specifically grape juice
     concentrate, and to lower sales of the Company's dessert and
     sparkling wine brands.

         Wine

         For purposes of computing the comparative data for the
     Company's branded wine products set forth below, sales in the
     Third Quarter of 1994 of branded wine products acquired from
     Vintners have been compared with sales of Vintners' branded wine
     products during Third Quarter 1993 prior to the Vintners
     Acquisition.

         Net sales and unit volume of the Company's branded wine
     products declined 6.8% and 6.5%, respectively, compared to the
     same period a year ago.  These decreases were principally a
     result of an overall decline in net sales and unit volume of the
     Company's branded wine products. 

         Net sales and unit volume of the Company's varietal table
     wine brands for Third Quarter 1994 increased 4.4% and 6.1%,
     respectively, resulting primarily from increases in sales of
     varietal table wine brands acquired from Vintners.  Net sales and
     unit volume of the Company's generic table wine brands for the
     same period were down 11.1% and 8.7%, respectively, principally
     due to lower sales of generic table wine brands acquired from
     Vintners.  Net sales and unit volume of sparkling wine brands
     decreased 12.6% and 11.8%, respectively, due to a general decline
     in most of the Company's sparkling wine brands.  Net sales and
     unit volume of the Company's dessert wine brands were down 4.2%
     and 6.4%, respectively, in Third Quarter 1994 versus the same
     period a year ago.  The Company's net sales and unit volume of
     dessert wine brands, have declined over the last three years. 
     These declines can be attributed to a general decline in dessert
     wine consumption in the United States.  Notwithstanding this, net
     sales and unit volume of dessert wine brands acquired from
     Vintners increased in Third Quarter 1994 versus the same period a
     year ago.

         The Company believes that the net sales and unit volume
     declines of brands acquired from Vintners reflect the effects of
     non-competitive pricing on certain brands which occurred prior to
     the Vintners Acquisition.  The Company has implemented strategies
     to address this area which the Company believes has negatively
     impacted the operating results for brands acquired from Vintners.

         Imported Beer
         Net sales and unit volume of the Company's beer brands for
     Third Quarter 1994 increased by 11.1% and 12.2%, respectively,
     when compared to Barton's net sales and unit volume for the same
     period a year ago.  These increases resulted primarily from
     increased sales of the Company's Corona Extra brand and other
     Mexican beer brands, and increased sales of its Point brand, the
     Company's domestically produced beer.

         On March 31, 1994, Barton Beers, Ltd., a wholly owned
     subsidiary of the Company, entered into a new agreement under
     which it will continue importing, marketing and distributing
     Corona Extra, Corona Light, Coronita, Negra Modelo, Modelo
     Especial and Pacifico Beers in the twenty-five primarily western
     states in the United States.  The new agreement has a term of
     five years, ending December 31, 1998, and contains substantially
     similar provisions as the previous agreement, including certain
     performance criteria.

         Spirits

         Net sales of the Company's spirits case goods for Third
     Quarter 1994 decreased 3.2%, while unit volume was up 0.2%, as
     compared to Barton's net sales and unit volume for the same
     period a year ago.  This decrease in net sales was primarily due
     to lower net sales of bourbon, Canadian and Scotch whiskeys,
     which was offset in large part by increased net sales of the
     Company's tequila, liqueur, gin and vodka brands.  

         Gross Profit

         Gross profit increased to $42.8 million in Third Quarter 1994
     from $18.4 million in Third Quarter 1993, an increase of $24.4
     million, or approximately 132%.  This increase in gross profit
     resulted from the inclusion of Barton's and Vintners' operations
     into those of the Company.  Gross profit as a percentage of net
     sales decreased to 27.7% in Third Quarter 1994 from 30.4% in
     Third Quarter 1993.  The Company's gross margin decreased
     primarily as a result of the inclusion of Barton's and Vintners'
     operations into those of the Company.  

         Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to
     $27.4 million in Third Quarter 1994 from $11.8 million in Third
     Quarter 1993, an increase of $15.6 million, or approximately
     133%.  This increase resulted from the additional selling,
     general and administrative expenses associated with the
     operations of Barton and Vintners and higher advertising and
     promotional spending on brands of the Company owned prior to the
     Barton and Vintners Acquisitions.

         Interest Expense, Net

         Interest expense, net increased to $4.6 million in Third
     Quarter 1994 from $1.3 million in Third Quarter 1993, an increase
     of $3.3 million.  This increase principally resulted from
     financing activities related to the Vintners Acquisition and the
     Barton Acquisition.

         Net Income

         Net income increased to $6.7 million in Third Quarter 1994
     from $3.4 million in Third Quarter 1993, an increase of $3.3
     million, or 96.0%.  This increase resulted primarily from the
     inclusion of the operations of Barton and Vintners into those of
     the Company.

     Nine Months Ended May 31, 1994 ("Nine Months of Fiscal 1994")
     Compared to Nine Months Ended May 31, 1993 ("Nine Months of
     Fiscal 1993")

         Net Sales

         Net sales for the Nine Months of Fiscal 1994 increased to
     $448.7 million from $190.4 million for the Nine Months of Fiscal
     1993, an increase of $258.4 million, or approximately  136%. 
     This increase resulted from the inclusion of 
     Barton's net sales of $186.5 million during the Nine Months of Fiscal
     1994 and
     $86.7 million of net sales of Vintners' products from October 15,
     1993, the date of the Vintners Acquisition.  Excluding the impact
     of the Barton and Vintners Acquisitions, the Company's net sales
     decreased $14.8 million, or 7.8%, when compared to the same
     period a year ago.  This was principally due to a decrease in net
     sales of the Company's non-branded products, specifically grape
     juice concentrate, and to lower sales of the Company's dessert
     wines.

         Wine

         For purposes of computing the comparative data for the
     Company's branded wine products set forth below, sales of branded
     wine products acquired from Vintners have been included in the
     Nine Months of Fiscal 1994 from October 15, 1993 (the date of the
     Vintners Acquisition) through May 31, 1994, and included for the
     same period during the Nine Months of Fiscal 1993 prior to the
     Vintners Acquisition.
         Net sales and unit volume of the Company's branded wine
     products for the Nine Months of Fiscal 1994 declined 6.4% and
     7.4%, respectively, as compared to the same period a year ago. 
     These decreases were due to lower sales of branded wine products
     acquired from Vintners and, to a lesser extent, to lower sales of
     the Company's branded wine products, exclusive of branded wine
     products acquired from Vintners.

         Net sales and unit volume of the Company's varietal table
     wine brands for the Nine Months of Fiscal 1994 increased 4.0% and
     7.5%, respectively, reflecting increases in substantially all of
     the Company's varietal table wine brands exclusive of varietal
     table wine brands acquired from Vintners which declined 12.1% and
     2.6%, in net sales and unit volume, respectively.  Net sales and
     unit volume of the Company's generic table wine brands for the
     same period were down 9.1% and 8.0%, respectively, principally
     due to lower sales of generic table wine brands acquired from
     Vintners.  Net sales and unit volume of sparkling wine brands
     decreased 4.3% and 5.2%, respectively, principally due to a
     general decline in all of the Company's sparkling wine brands. 
     Net sales and unit volume of the Company's dessert wine brands
     were down 10.2% and 12.5%, respectively, in Nine Months of Fiscal
     1994 versus the same period a year ago.  The Company's net sales
     and unit volume of dessert wine brands, have declined over the
     last three years.  These declines can be attributed to a general
     decline in dessert wine consumption in the United States.  During
     the Nine Months of Fiscal 1994, net sales of branded dessert
     wines constituted less than 12% of the Company's overall net
     sales.  Notwithstanding this, net sales and unit volume of
     dessert wine brands acquired from Vintners increased in the Nine
     Months of Fiscal 1994 versus the same period a year ago.

         Imported Beer

         Net sales and unit volume of the Company's beer brands for
     the Nine Months of Fiscal 1994 increased by 11.9% and 12.7%,
     respectively, when compared to Barton's net sales and unit volume
     for the same period a year ago, which was prior to the Barton
     Acquisition.  These increases resulted primarily from increased
     sales of the Company's Corona Extra brand and other Mexican beer
     brands, and increased sales of its St. Pauli Girl and Point
     brands.  The Company's new agreement to continue to distribute
     Corona Extra and its other Mexican beer brands expires in
     December 1998.  (See discussion under Imported Beer -- Third
     Quarter 1994 compared to Third Quarter 1993.) 

         Spirits

         Net sales and unit volume of the Company's spirits case goods
     for the Nine Months of Fiscal 1994 were down 2.3% and up
     slightly, respectively, as compared to Barton's net sales and
     unit volume for the same period a year ago.  This decrease in net
     sales was primarily due to lower net sales of the Company's aged
     whiskey (i.e., bourbon and Scotch brands), which was partially
     offset by increased net sales of the Company's liqueur, blended
     whiskey and Canadian whiskey brands.  The Company also had
     increased net sales of its tequila brands.

         Gross Profit
         Gross profit increased to $129.1 million in the Nine Months
     of Fiscal 1994 from $57.6 million in the Nine Months of Fiscal
     1993, an increase of $71.5 million, or approximately 124%.  This
     increase in gross profit resulted from the inclusion of Barton's
     and Vintners' operations into the Company's.  Gross profit as a
     percentage of net sales decreased to 28.8% in the Nine Months of
     Fiscal 1994 from 30.3% in the Nine Months of Fiscal 1993.  The
     Company's gross margin decreased primarily as a result of the
     inclusion of Barton's and Vintners' operations into the Company. 

         Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to
     $87.1 million in the Nine Months of Fiscal 1994 from $37.5
     million in the Nine Months of Fiscal 1993, an increase of $49.6 
     million, or approximately 132%.  This increase resulted from the
     additional selling, general and administrative expenses
     associated with the operations of Barton and Vintners and higher
     advertising and promotional spending on brands of the Company
     owned prior to the Barton and Vintners Acquisitions.

         Interest Expense, Net

         Interest expense, net increased to $12.8 million in the Nine
     Months of Fiscal 1994 from $4.2 million in the Nine Months of
     Fiscal 1993, an increase of $8.6 million.  This increase
     principally resulted from financing activities related to the
     Vintners Acquisition and the Barton Acquisition.

         Net Income

         Net income increased to $18.0 million in the Nine Months of
     Fiscal 1994 from $9.9 million in the Nine Months of Fiscal 1993,
     an increase of $8.1 million, or approximately 81%.  This increase
     resulted primarily from the inclusion of the operations of Barton
     and Vintners into those of the Company.

     Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company's principal use of cash in its operating
     activities is for purchasing and carrying inventory of raw
     materials and finished goods.  The Company's primary source of
     liquidity has historically been cash flow from operations, except
     during the annual fall grape harvest when the Company has relied
     on short-term borrowings.  The annual grape crush normally begins
     in August and runs through November.  The Company generally
     begins purchasing grapes in August with payments for such grapes
     beginning to come due in September.  The Company's short-term
     borrowings to support such purchases generally reach their
     highest levels in November or December.  Historically, the
     Company has used cash flow from operations to repay its short-
     term borrowings.  The Company believes that as a result of the
     Vintners Acquisition, and to a lesser extent, the Barton
     Acquisition, it will have increased short-term borrowing needs.  

         A description of the Company's credit facility and other
     indebtedness is provided in Note 5 to the Company's financial
     statements in Part 1 of this report.

     Working Capital Requirements
         As of May 31, 1994 the Company's Current Assets and
     Liabilities increased from August 31, 1993 due in large part to
     the Vintners Acquisition.  Net of the effect of the Vintners
     Acquisition, but including changes since the date of that
     Acquisition, current assets decreased principally as a result of
     normal seasonal sales trends resulting in lower inventory levels. 
     Current Liabilities similarly decreased due primarily to a
     decrease in accounts payable associated with the grape harvest
     offset by increased short-term borrowings to partially fund those
     payments.  As of May 31, 1994, $38 million was outstanding under
     the revolving loans under the Company's credit facility and
     approximately $53 million was available to be drawn down by the
     Company.  

         As part of the consideration for Barton, the Company agreed
     to make payments to the former stockholders of Barton ("Barton
     Stockholders") of up to an aggregate of $57.3 million which are
     payable to the Barton Stockholders over a three-year period upon
     the satisfaction of certain performance goals.  The first payment
     of $4.0 million was paid to the Barton Stockholders on December
     31, 1993.  The remaining payments are as follows:  (i) up to
     $28.3 million is to be made on December 30, 1994; (ii) up to
     $10.0 million is to be made on November 30, 1995; and (iii) up to
     $15.0 million is to be made on November 29, 1996.  With respect
     to the performance goals for the December 30, 1994 payment,
     Barton has satisfied some but not all of the goals, creating an
     obligation of the Company to the Barton Stockholders of $18.2
     million.  This amount has been accrued by the Company as of May
     31, 1994.  If Barton satisfies the remaining goals the entire
     $28.3 million will be due the Barton Stockholders on December 30,
     1994.  Such payment obligations are secured in part by a $28.2
     million letter of credit issued under the Company's credit
     facility and are subject to acceleration in certain events.  The
     Company will fund the payment due on December 30, 1994 through
     its credit facility.

         As part of the acquisition of Vintners, the Company held back
     from the Cash Consideration approximately 10% of the then
     estimated net current assets of Vintners purchased by the
     Company.  Final determination of the net current asset amount is
     not expected to occur prior to the end of the Company's 1994
     fiscal year.  If the finally determined net current asset amount
     exceeds the closing estimate, $8.4 million plus such excess will
     be paid by the Company.  If the finally determined net current
     asset amount is less than the closing estimate, $8.4 million
     minus the deficiency will be paid by the Company.  See Note 5 to
     the Company's financial statements in Part 1 of this report.  The
     Company expects that the amount to be paid will not exceed $7.7
     million.  Such amount will be deposited into an escrow account
     established to reimburse the Company for any indemnification
     claims arising out of the Vintners Acquisition.  As of May 31,
     1994, no adjustment to the established escrow was required and
     the Final Net Current Asset Amount has not been determined.

         On February 4, 1994, the Company paid $5.1 million to Hiram
     Walker & Sons, Inc. for the extension of licenses to use the
     brand names Ten High Bourbon Whiskey, Lauder's Scotch Whisky,
     Northern Light Blended Canadian Whisky and certain other spirits
     brands, for varying periods, the longest of which terminates in
     2116.  This payment was funded from cash flows from operations. 
     Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment during
     fiscal 1994 are not expected to vary materially from amounts
     expended in fiscal 1993.

         The Company believes that cash flow from operations and
     revolving loans available under its credit facility will provide
     sufficient funds to meet all of its anticipated short and long-
     term debt service obligations and the major cash requirements
     described above.  The Company is not aware of any potential
     impairment to its liquidity and believes that the revolving loans
     available under its credit facility and cash flow from operations
     will provide adequate resources to satisfy its existing working
     capital, liquidity and anticipated capital expenditure
     requirements for at least the next four fiscal quarters.  In
     connection with any acquisition of assets from Heublein, as
     described in Note 8 to the Company's financial statements in Part
     I of this report, the Company would be required to refinance, or
     obtain appropriate consents from the banking syndicate under, its
     credit facility.  The Company anticipates funding this
     acquisition of assets through bank financing.
     Financing Activities

         During the nine months ended May 31, 1994, the Company
     completed the acquisition of Vintners.  The cash portion of the
     purchase price was funded by revolving loans associated with the
     1993 harvest and a $130 million subordinated bank loan (the
     "Subordinated Bank Loan").  On December 27, 1993, the public
     offering and sale of the Company's 8.75% Senior Subordinated
     Notes (the "Notes") was completed, the proceeds of which,
     together with additional borrowings under the Company's credit
     facility, were used to repay in full the Subordinated Bank Loan. 
     A description of the Notes is set forth in Note 5 to the
     Company's financial statements in Part 1 of this report.  Such
     description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
     complete text of the Indenture covering the Notes, a copy of
     which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         In addition, the Company called its 7% Convertible
     Subordinated Debentures Due 2011 for redemption on November 19,
     1993.  Prior to such redemption substantially all of the
     convertible debentures were converted into shares of the
     Company's Class A Common Stock.
