Operational Update 
 
 
Cosentino Signature Wines plc, the AIM listed, ultra-premium brand Napa Valley 
based wine company, would like to update the market on recent operational 
developments in the business. 
 
 
The Company has vacated and returned three non-essential properties, along with 
certain equipment, that it had been leasing as the result of its August, 2007 
sale and leaseback transaction at the Pope Valley, Lockeford and Clements 
locations, and has consolidated its Napa Valley operations into its fully owned 
Yountville facility and its Lodi operations into rented space in Woodbridge. 
This move is part of a rationalisation of its operating facilities and in line 
with the Company's strategy of improving operational efficiency and cost control 
as announced in December 2008. 
 
Cosentino is also in advanced negotiations with its senior debt providers as it 
seeks to continue its focus on debt reduction and control. The Company will 
update the market as appropriate, once negotiations have been finalised.
