Ritas Beverages
In September 2020, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Anheuser-Busch for allegedly falsely advertising Ritas™ brand beverages in a way to make consumers think that the Sparkling Margarita beverages contain tequila, the Rosé and Sangria beverages contain wine, and the Mojito and Sparkling Classic Cocktails contain rum when, according to the complaint, they do not. (Cooper et al v. Anheuser-Busch, LLC, Case No. 20-cv-7451, S.D.N.Y.)
