Getting into the 'spirits'

I think Johnny is really getting into this Gangland Chicago thing. First there was a drive-by shooting near the set of Public Enemies, and now he's bringing in his own homemade wine. *heh*
Johnny Depp shipping in home-grown wine to new film set

The set of Johnny Depp's new movie is full of booze, thanks to the actor, who is shipping in home-grown wine for the cast and crew.

While filming Public Enemies, with Oscar-winner star has had shipments of his home-grown plonk sent over to the set in Illinois.

"Johnny's a fine wine buff and has his own vineyard in the South of France. He's had 10 crates of his own wine shipped over to keep him going, The mirror quoted a source, as saying.

"He is very serious about his hobby and does everything himself - from selecting the grapes to working the machinery. "He's done wine-tasting courses and has read virtually all there is to read on the subject. Johnny's a connoisseur," the source added.

The actor also shipped over some bottles of his favourite Bordeaux Petrus, which he's been generously dishing out to everyone on set.

"It's fair to say that he's made filming a far more enjoyable experience," the source said.

Maybe our Johnny's booze bottles even when he was Captain Jack Sparrow were filled not with water but with the real thing: his fine, home-grown fermented grapes! Really though...think about this: even though his "Spirits" probably taste really delicious...and they can most likely add lots of distinctive flavor while he and his other crew members are filming on hot sets...he really never has to "rely" though on his artificial "spirits" he drinks for as we all know: Johnny is blessed already naturally with a real, beautiful "spirit" of his own...buried just inside himself! His true "spirit" is seen by all of us out here!!! Love him. Linda in Los Angeles, CA U.S.A.

Thats so cool. My Dad has made some home-made wine from his home-grown grapes..but nothing on that level..I'm sure. lol! I'd love to drink some of his home-made wine with him. Just the thought that he made it...would make it even that more enjoyable.

I wonder, if this about Johnny's own wine is true or just a rumour -
Does anybody know?
