Johnny Depp missed good wine so much while filming his new movie in Illinois he reportedly had crates of the fine stuff delivered to the set.

The actor is currently working on Public Enemies, the tale of legendary 1930s gangster John Dillinger.

A source told 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, who has a tattoo Wino Forever emblazoned on his arm, and his partner Vanessa Paradis have their own vineyard in St Tropez. He hit the headlines in 1999 for reportedly splashing £11,000 on one bottle (a 1978 Romanee Conti, in case you're interested) at Mirabelle in London.
