Winery Exchange hit with second lawsuit in two months
Winery Exchange (the private label sourcer, also called World Brews) has found itself involved in another lawsuit, but this time as the defendant. Here’s the skinny: Cerveceria Modelo, a Grupo Modelo brewery, claims Winery Exchange has "attempted to capitalize on the tremendous goodwill associated with Corona" through their own private label beer, Playa de La Cruz. Playa is a brand that is being heavily displayed in Walgreens as a private label.
Bell’s Brewery filed a lawsuit against Winery Exchange in late 2011 over its Copper Bell beer.
