A jury reached a verdict Wednesday on whether Corona Hard Seltzer can be considered beer for licensing purposes.
In February 2021, a suit was initiated by Grupo Modelo claiming Constellation violated a licensing agreement pertaining to the use of the Corona name. Constellation’s license to use the “Corona” label in the U.S. applies only to beer products, an agreement Grupo Modelo claims was violated when Constellation produced and distributed the hard seltzer line.
