NAPA VALLEY, Calif., Feb. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- House of Saka, Inc., producers of the first and only alcohol-free, cannabis-infused beverages made from select vineyards within the iconic Napa Valley appellation, announced today the addition of wine & spirits veteran, Sue Bachorski, to the role of Chief Operating and Financial Officer.  The newest member of House of Saka's Senior Executive team, Bachorski will oversee operations, logistics and finance for the company as it continues to expand its portfolio of products as well as its national footprint.

Prior to joining House of Saka, Bachorski spent nearly three decades as a Senior Operations and Finance Executive at Constellation Brands, Inc. a Fortune 500 company and one of the largest and most respected beer, wine and spirits companies in the world.  Most recently, Sue served as SVP, Operation Services, Global Wine & Spirits, which supported 24 production locations in 5 countries including Supply and Demand Planning, Procurement, Logistics, Warehousing and Distribution, Environmental Health and Safety, Quality and Research and Development.

In 2018, Constellation Brands, which boasts more than 100 brands in its portfolio including Robert Mondavi, Corona, Svedka Vodka, High West Whiskey and Casa Noble Tequila, famously invested $4B in Canopy Growth, a Canada-based cannabis company, with an eye on capturing a piece of the rapidly emerging infused beverage sector.

According to a recent report on the global cannabis-based 'alcoholic beverages market,' this sector, which includes non-alcoholic cannabis-infused beers, wines and spirits, is expected to grow by 19% or $155 million between 2020 and 2024 making it the fastest growing segment of the cannabis industry.
