Sean Connery has said that he refused to give up his favourite wine despite doctors' calls for him to quit drinking.
The former James Bond star was warned to stop drinking alcohol after medics diagnosed him with a heart condition.
He told Wine Spectator magazine: "I do drink red wine because of my friend David Murray, who owns two French wine estates. He showed me the evidence that it was good for the health.
"I favour Merlots from Chile for their value and I keep a good deal of California wine in my cellar. I have one that cost me $2,000 (£1,200) for two cases, which I think is rather steep."
