Depp ships French wine to film set
Johnny Depp has reportedly shipped in crates of his own French wine to the set of his new film.

The 44-year-old actor is filming Michael Mann's Public Enemies in Chicago but isn't happy about the lack of good wine in Illinois.

A source is quoted as saying in the Daily Express: "Johnny's really enjoying filming but the only problem is that Illinois isn't exactly famous for its vineyards and Johnny is quite particular about his wine.

"He knows a lot about wine and has been on various courses. When he couldn't put up with the local wine any longer, he decided to organise for a shipment of his own to be sent across as well as his favourite Bordeaux Petrus.

Depp famously had a tattoo on his arm that read "Winona Forever" but was altered to "Wino Forever" after the pair split up.
