"It's powerful," Shizuku says of a 2001 Bordeaux, suddenly overwhelmed with images of a turntable, guitars and Freddie Mercury. "But it also has a meltingly sweet taste, with an acidic aftertaste that catches you by surprise. It's like the voice of Queen's lead vocalist, sweet and husky, enveloped in thick guitar riffs and heavy drums."

*dies laughing*

*snerk* This is one of the reasons I think I'll always love manga--in the right hands, any subject can become pure, world-destroying Awesome. Wine, baking bread, eating bento, board games....

Beautifully drawn. I'm not into manga but it was very pretty.

This almost wants to make me seek out scanlations. The part about the wine being reminiscent of Freddie Mercury's voice is so bizarre that it's awesome. Well, hell, if Japan can get awesome manga out of ancient board games, boxing, and cute little talking microbes . . .

The Drama! Of! Fermenting! Grapes!

Also, I totally love how the kid's big rebel move is to work in a brewery.

Suddenly, though, his father dies and leaves in his will a description of 12 wines he considers the world's best, comparing them to the disciples of Jesus.

Someone please, please, please adapt this into an anime.

Curiously, the Freddie Mercury wine does not sit well with the female palate. XD

Only in Japan, really. There's also a manga about being a considerate boss. Amazing.

I FORESEE LOTS OF FILLER WHEREIN THEY EXPLORE BARTLES AND JAYMES.

Learning about a new and unusual concept through manga is still learning!

I'm not into manga, either, but a story about finding wines that are like the 12 disciples of Jesus is just brilliant.
