Two men compete in a fateful quest to solve a mystery in this thrilling human drama about wine. The story is based on a manga series of the same title in which the comic books sold more than 2 million copies in Japan and Korea, and extended its popularity to France, the home of wine.

Shizuku (Kazuya Kamenashi) is the son of a world-renowned wine critic Yutaka Kanzaki (Ikko Furuya). Refusing to follow his father's path, he had become a salesman at a major beer company, only to find himself transferred to the newly founded Wine Division at his company. Rumour has it that the transfer had to do with his father being a great critic, but Shizuku himself had been a rebellious son and had no interest in wine.

Suddenly his father Yutaka passes away, leaving a wine collection worth more than two billion yen (20 billion US$). According to his will, the son who guesses correctly all of the vintage years and names of the so-called "Apostles," 6 ultimate bottles of wine selected by Yutaka himself, plus the "Kami No Shizuku," in other words "The Drops of the Gods" - the rare wine that stands at the top of it all, shall inherit the whole collection.

A fierce competition begins as Issei Tomine (Seiichi Tanabe), a renowned sommelier and wine critic reveals that he was adopted by Yutaka and steps forward into the battle for the priceless collection.

 

 

这是一个刻画人和葡萄酒的故事。原作漫画在日本及韩国累计销售200万部以上,甚至连盛产葡萄酒的法国也深受吸引,引起大众的关注。

故事的主人公神崎雫(龟梨和也饰)的父亲是有50年品酒经验的世界著名红酒评论家丰多香(古谷一行饰)。雫自小就对葡萄酒一点兴趣也没有,也为了反抗父亲而加入了一家大规模的啤酒公司工作。但是雫最近被公司调派到新增设的葡萄酒部门,闻说此次被调职是因为他的父亲是有名的红酒评论家的缘故。

就在那时,雫的父亲因癌病突然死去,在拿到父亲遗书的时候,发现父亲在临终一星期前收了一名年轻的天才红酒评论家远峰一青(田辺诚一饰)当养子。遗嘱内容是只要其中一人能在指定期间内猜中他心目中的6瓶顶级葡萄酒以及第7瓶,即世界上最出色的葡萄酒「神之水滴」的酒名和年份,便能继承他那价值超过20亿日元的酒窖藏酒。雫以父亲的遗嘱为契机开启了品尝葡萄酒之路,和养子远峰一青展开一场激烈的红酒之战。
