I first heard of this manga while on reading a article about different types of wine in Japan (Yeah, that's a pretty random search for someone who can't even drink wine yet !_!) . They made a quick mention of this series in the middle of the article and for some reason my interest to find out more about this series was perked. I looked it up on google and found out about one of the greatest manga's of recent time.The premise of the story is that a young man by the name of Shizuku Kanzaki must find 12 wines that his recently deceased father left him to discover for his honor. He is left in contest with his adoptive brother Issey Tomine and whoever finds the 12 wines first will inherit there dad's prized collection of wine.
The plot may sound a little cliche and boring but the book is really interesting. It teaches you a lot about wine (and all the info is legit) while telling a epic and unintentionally hilarious tale (I mean really? The wine pouring scenes are usually awesome and funny at the same time.)

Despite the series' popularity in Japan and South Korea though, it's not really that popular in North America for some reason, nor has it been picked up by any publishers at the time for a release here.
The manga is currently being scanalated by a group called "Little Black Butterflies" and the first 6? volumes have been translated so far.
I recommend the series to anyone who's a wine enthusiast or just likes a good read.
That's all for now~
Tata!
