It was in Kodansha’s Weekly Morning magazine from 2004 to 2014. It was adapted into a live-action Korean drama series in 2008, and a Japanese live-action drama in 2009 (in which Kamenashi starred). A 2023 drama has also debuted on AppleTV+.
Kodansha describes the story of the manga as:
Yutaka Kanzaki, a wine critic whose reviews have enough clout to move the industry worldwide, has died—leaving behind a wine collection worth over two billion yen. Only the one who can name his favorite bottles, plus vintages, will inherit this dream of a cellar. It’s a battle between Yutaka’s biological son Shizuku and adopted child Issei to identify these “Twelve Apostles”—along with the very best wine in his collection, the so-called “Drops of God.”
