Corona is a brand of beer produced in multiple breweries in Mexico and exported to markets around the world. Constellation Brands is the exclusive licensee and sole importer of Corona in the fifty states of the United States, Washington, D.C., and Guam. Belgian company AB InBev owns the beer in all other worldwide markets and it solely brews the beer for all markets including the US. Corona is now brewed in China for the Australasia market. It is the top-selling brand of imported beer in the United States. It is often served with a wedge of lime or lemon in the neck of the bottle to add tartness and flavor. The recipe for the mash bill includes corn as well as the barley malt and hops traditionally used for making beer.

The brand's most popular variation is Corona Extra, a pale lager. It is one of the top-selling beers worldwide, and Corona Extra has been the top-selling imported drink in the U.S. since 1998. Other variants of the Corona beer brand include Corona Light, Corona Premier, and Corona Familiar. A variety of flavored hard seltzers marketed under the Corona brand name was launched in March 2020.

Ingredients

According to Sinebrychoff, a Finnish company owned by the Carlsberg Group, Corona Extra contains barley malt, corn, hops, yeast, antioxidants (ascorbic acid), and propylene glycol alginate as a stabilizer.

Packaging

Corona beer is available in a variety of bottle presentations, ranging from the Шаблон:Convert ampolleta (labeled Coronita and just referred as the cuartito) up to the Шаблон:Convert Corona Familiar (known as the familiar, Litro or Mega). A draught version also exists, as does canned Corona in some markets.

Since the 80s, Corona had been branded as Шаблон:Lang (literally, 'little crown') in Spain, as winemaker Bodegas Torres had owned the trademark for "Coronas" since 1907. The packaging was otherwise the same in Spain as in Mexico and the United States. AB InBev resolved the branding issues with Torres in 2016, with the beer starting to be sold as Corona in Spain from June of that year. In Mexico, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and the United States, smaller, Шаблон:Convert bottles of the beer are also branded as "Coronita".Шаблон:Citation needed

Advertising

Corona calls itself: "La cerveza más fina."

Corona commercials for both Corona Extra and Corona Light typically take place on a beach with the tagline "Miles Away From Ordinary" from 2000 to 2007. Since the early 2010s, the tagline "Find Your Beach" was used.

In 1990, Corona introduced a Christmas-themed commercial called "O Tannenpalm". It features a whistling rendition of the popular Christmas song "O Tannenbaum" as a palm tree lights up with Christmas lights, with the caption "Feliz Navidad" (Merry Christmas). "O Tannenpalm", the longest-running beer ad, has aired every year during the month of December.

Use in cocktails

Some bars and restaurants serve a "Coronarita", a beer cocktail that consists of a bottle of Corona upturned to drain into a margarita.Шаблон:Failed verification

COVID-19 pandemic

In early 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, CNN published an article falsely claiming that 38% of Americans would not buy Corona "under any circumstances" due to its similarity in name to coronaviruses. The claim was based on a press release by 5W Public Relations, whose customers include competitors of the maker of Corona. 5WPR had done a phone poll of 737 American beer drinkers, and presented the results as related to the pandemic. However, the question responsible for the 38% statistic did not actually mention COVID-19 as a motivation, which might have instead simply indicated a preference for a different brand of beer. In The Atlantic, Yascha Mounk deemed 5WPR "unscrupulous" and "shameless".

Sales increased 8.9% in the first three months of 2020, and showed year-over-year growth of 24% in the first three weeks of March 2020, as American consumers were drinking more beer and alcoholic beverages while staying at home during the emerging pandemic.
