Johnny Depp is picky about his wine
Johnny Depp loves French wine so much, he had 10 crates flown 4,147 miles to the U.S. during filming for his new movie Public Enemies.
The 44-year-old - who lives in the European nation with longterm partner and native Vanessa Paradis - asked for a selection from his own vineyard to be sent to the set in Illinois because he hates the taste of American wine.
A source tells British newspaper the Daily Express, “He is 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. 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.”

uh… that makes absolutely no sense….. “illinois isn’t exactly famous for it’s vineyards”; what? if i want a nice zinfandel i’m going to have to get it flown in from california because i’m sick of my local vineyards (of which there are none)? i highly doubt that mr. depp would have any trouble finding a good bottle in a liquor department and it may only be eight dollars too! just sounds stupid this gossip.

Actually, right now he is in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Has been for a few weeks. Should be done any day now. I live in the area, and, no-there arean’t any good wineries here except for some fruity-types (cherry, etc.). Don’t blame him!!
