Kanzaki Shizuku is the son of a recently deceased, world renowned wine critic Kanzaki Yutaka  who owns a vast wine collection. In order to take ownership of his legacy, he must find 13 wines, known as the &quot;12 apostles&quot; and the &quot;Les Gouttes de Dieu&quot; that his father described in his will. He has a competitor called Toomine Issei, a renowned young wine critic, who is his father&#039;s adopted son.    Shizuku has never drunk or has any previous knowledge about wines, but with strong senses of taste and smell, plus knowledge gained from his time with his father, and with support from his friends and colleagues like sommelier trainee Shinohara Miyabi, Shizuku submerges himself in the world of wine and tries to solve the mysteries of the 13 wines and defeat Toomine Issei.

The main character of the manga, a young man called Shizuku Kanzaki, discovers the beauty of wine after his father, a famous wine critic, dies and leaves an unusual will: a description of 12 wines he considers to be the best in the world, comparing them to Jesus Christ&rsquo;s disciples. 

The first person to find these &ldquo;disciples&rdquo; will inherit the father&rsquo;s wine collection, a contest that pits Shizuku against his adoptive brother, Issey Tomine, who works as a sommelier.

One last challenge stands between Shizuku Kanzaki and his father's fortune—to identify the wine his father called “The Drops of God” in his will. Problem is, he's up against Issei Tomine, a famous wine critic his father adopted shortly before his death. Alone and penniless following his journey around the world to gain knowledge and train his senses for the final showdown, Shizuku stumbles into a western-style izakaya to work for food and a place to stay. But when Shizuku uses his newfound smarts to save the struggling business, a competing chain launches an identical menu and enlists the help of a rising sommelier to go head-to-head with them. In order to stay on top and survive this brutal business, it all comes down to perfecting the food and wine pairings—the blissful mariage of flavors which delights the senses.

The manga is set after the final confrontation between Shizuku and Tomine, with Shizuku now traveling the world and arriving at Paris and meeting a girl with a good nose.

World-renowned wine critic Yutaka Kanzaki has passed away, leaving behind a wine collection worth over 12 billion yen. His will states that his collection will be given to the one who can identify the origin and year of twelve wines he’s chosen, the “Twelve Apostles”, and one that’s superior even to them, “The Drops of God”. 
Competing for the prize are Yutaka’s son, Shizuku, who received a world-class education in wine but rebelled against his father and has never drank a drop, and Issei Tomine, a young charismatic wine critic whom Yutaka had recently adopted as his son. 
What is wine? What is a parent and a child? What is life?
