The company grew from a New York wine operation founded in 1945 into the American rights holder for Corona and Modelo, which it acquired outright from a 2013 antitrust settlement. Those Mexican beer brands supply most of the profit and have taken share consistently. Wine and spirits have been pruned through divestiture to focus capital on beer. A large investment in cannabis producer Canopy Growth was written down substantially. Headquarters are in Rochester, New York.

A protective put caps your downside on the STZ position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current STZ option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.
Example: a 5,000-share STZ position at $131 is worth $655,000. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $13,100 to $26,200) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off STZ's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.
