Constellation Brands CEO Nick Fink told the Wall Street Journal that he’s seeing young people “coming together, socializing and relearning perhaps that behavior that many haven’t experienced in a post-Covid world. They’re doing it around beer.” The convergence of the U.S. hosting the World Cup, the ​Fourth of July holiday ​and celebrations marking ⁠America’s 250th anniversary is creating an extended period of social gatherings, encouraging spending on barbecues, watch parties and other ​festivities, said Suzy Davidkhanian, an analyst at eMarketer.
