thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Corona can.jpg

message: There used to be a beer produced in the United States called Corona, but the company went bankrupt, and sold the name to the mexican company so it could sell it under that name in the U.S. It was a shame really the beer tasted much better.... But their business model sucked.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.23.196.211 (talk) 02:31, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I updated the name of Carlton and added a fact tag, then took a moment to do some research.  It looks like Foster's (owner of Carlton) extended an existing agreement between them and Grupo Modelo to distribute Corona in Australia (see here for a sample press release).  I couldn't find anything on Foster's website relating to Corona regarding a new agreement to provide Corona on tap via Carlton.  Searching for a separate Carlton website redirects to Foster.  Perhaps someone else can find something, otherwise the whole statement regarding this in the first paragraph should be deleted.--CheMechanical (talk) 00:45, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

message: What on earth does this mean? "All Corona beer is brewed and bottled in one of 7 Modelo Breweries in Mexico but it is domestic to the United States."  IF it's all from Mexico, it cannot be domestic in the U.S.; it's foreign. --Nricardo (talk) 13:28, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Domestic to the United States" 

message: I'd like to suggest that this article be moved to 'Corona Extra'. It would mean you could access the page without relying on a disambiguation page. It's also the official name of the beer, simply 'Corona' being an informal usage. Anyoe agree? If so I'll move it. 193.157.233.66 (talk) 19:44, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

message: This beer is mexican but it was created, the beer and the company, by a spanish man living in Mexico.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.120.147.232 (talk) 01:14, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origin 

message: I propose to create a new section within the article to discuss the ownership of the company that manufactures Corona. I think it's important to include this information because many Corona drinkers might be under the mistaken impression that the beer is still owned by the Mexican company that created it, when this is no longer the case (the majority of the shares of Grupo Modelo have been owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev since 2008 and they are purchasing the rest in 2012).
Should a section called "Ownership" be created here? Or would it fit better in the Grupo Modelo article? -mg  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Macgirl (talk • contribs) 00:07, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Passing mention of this Wikipedia article in press 

message: I feel like the effect of the pandemic on the beer should be more clearly stated. It comes off like the beer didn't sell as much because people don't want to go out in public, but that could be a lot of brands, and a simple sentence mentioning how the beer is called Corona and the COVID-19 is the coronavirus would make it clearer.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:31:CDB0:891A:8D74:C85B:698C (talk) 15:49, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

message: The tone of this sentence implies that 4% is an insignificant number, which it isn't if you frame this as an immediate drop in sales among regular drinkers.--2A00:23C4:3E0F:4400:E9A3:25CE:CBCE:DF04 (talk) 18:10, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: But overall sales were rising, not falling. You could probably ask regular drinkers of anything at any random time and find that at least 4% of them say they plan to stop consuming it. Plans change, and while some people are reducing their consumption, others may be increasing theirs. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:57, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: Corona (beer) →  – Per WP:NATURAL a Google search for Corona beer returns almost all results with "Corona Extra" including the official website. There have been various suggestions above for moving to "Corona Extra" and unlike Apple the branding on the product has "Corona Extra" rather than just "Corona". Also because of the coronavirus pandemic its likely that its even more commonly known by the longer name since COVID-19 is often called "corona" and the article on the stellar meaning was moved to Stellar corona.

message: This is a fact-based edit request. The ownership and brewing information on the current page is a decade out of date. In 2013 an antitrust case resulted in Corona being owned by Constellation Brands in the US market and AB InBev everywhere else. That change is not noted in the first paragraph (making that paragraph of date) even though it is correct in the sidebar (under the Corona Extra logo).
See suggested text and citations below.
Current text: Corona is a brand of beer produced by Mexican brewery Cervecería Modelo and owned by Belgian company AB InBev.
Suggested text: Corona is a brand of beer produced in multiple breweries In Mexico and imported to markets around the world.  U.S.-based Constellation Brands owns Corona in the U.S. Belgian company AB InBev owns the beer in all other markets.
