E. & J. Gallo Winery (Gallo) completed the acquisition of more than 30 wine brands from Constellation Brands, Inc. The agreement between Gallo and Constellation was approved by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on Dec. 23, 2020. The acquisition includes Arbor Mist, Black Box, Clos du Bois, Estancia, Franciscan, Hogue, Manischewitz, Mark West, Ravenswood, Taylor, Vendange and Wild Horse.
