RIDLEY SCOTT - SCOTT: 'I'M NOT MAKING WINE'

Moviemaker RIDLEY SCOTT is refusing to become the latest celebrity vintner, despite the fact he now owns a vineyard on his French estate.
The British director owns a great grape plot of land in Provence, close to where he shot A Good Year with pal Russell Crowe, but he'd never give up filmmaking to produce wine, like fellow director Francis Ford Coppola.
He tells Details magazine, "I have someone else run the vineyard. I know what I should make and what I should consume. That's it.
"Coppola started his winery and label, but he also almost gave up movies, didn't he? I want to be known as the guy who makes good movies, not good wine."
