The
Wine Group, a privately held San Francisco
based wine company, was founded in
1981 through a management buyout of
the wine assets of Coca Cola Bottling
Co. of New York. It produces flagship
brands such as Franzia, Big House,
Glen Ellen, Corbett Canyon, Foxhorn,
Fish Eye and Mogen David, and through
its Underdog Marketing group, sells
a handful of niche brands.
Following
its $134 million acquisition of the
Almaden and Inglenook wine labels
from Constellation Brands, the company
is now California's second-largest
wine producer and was recently listed
by WIne Business Monthly as one of
the 30 largest wine producers in
the United States. |
