Corona (beer)  Corona Extra is a pale lager produced by Mexican brewery Cervecería Modelo and owned by Belgian company AB InBev. It is commonly served with a wedge of lime or lemon in the neck of the bottle to add tartness and flavour. 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. 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. Propylene glycol alginate is a synthetic, colorless, odorless, tasteless liquid that belongs to the same chemical class as alcohol. Corona beer is available in a variety of bottled presentations, ranging from the "ampolleta" (labeled "Coronita" and just referred as the "cuartito") up to the "Corona Familiar" (known as the "familiar", "Litro" or "Mega"). A draught version also exists, as does canned Corona in some markets. In Spain, the beer is branded as (literally, 'little crown'), as renowned winemaker Bodegas Torres has owned the trademark for "Coronas" since 1907. The packaging is otherwise unchanged. In the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and the US, smaller, 210ml (7 fl. oz) bottles of the beer are also branded as "Coronita". Corona was a longtime sponsor of boxing in Mexico, including sponsorship of Saturday night fights on Televisa, but reduced its sponsorship after Anheuser-Busch InBev took full control of the brand. In the United States, Constellation Brands continues to sponsor boxing through Corona, most notably with undefeated featherweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.  Corona was the title sponsor of the LPGA Tour tournament Corona Championship (later Tres Marias Championship) from 2005 to 2009, and of the NASCAR Corona Series (now NASCAR PEAK Mexico Series) from 2004 to 2011, the most followed stock car racing series in Mexico. In addition, Corona is a "second sponsor" for four of Mexico's top-flight professional football teams of the First Division. The teams sponsored by Corona are Puebla, Club León, Chiapas F.C., Monarcas Morelia, América, Toluca, Atlas, and Santos Laguna.
