Singer Amy Winehouse reportedly ordered 48 bottles of Jack Daniels whiskey for her two day stay on the Isle Of Wight in England, where she's scheduled to perform at the Bestival Festival. Festival organizers were concerned about Winehouse and her team consuming that much alcohol and came up with a back up plan in case Winehouse was not able to perform.

"It's common for artists to make requests for food and beverages before they arrive. But organizers have heard Miss Winehouse has ordered in an extremely large amount of Jack Daniels, in fact, a ridiculous amount that she and her team could not possibly consume during their short stay."—Festival sourceThe Sun: Back to Jack (September 5, 2008)
"Everyone is really excited about getting Amy to perform here, and naturally there are now fears she is planning something wild. With Amy's record this can mean failure to perform or giving a shambolic performance. Whiskey is better than heroin — but not 48 bottles of the stuff."—Festival sourceThe Sun: Back to Jack (September 5, 2008)
