Pretty fun read!

Shinzuku Kanzaki is the son of a recently-deceased renowned wine critic, who forcefully trained Shinzuku as a boy to develop his senses of taste and smell in order to be a perfect wine critic himself. Shinzuku rejected the path and has never tasted wine before (working instead as a salesman selling beer for an alcohol company) and was estranged from his father, but his father's will requires that he win a wine-tasting competition with his father's apprentice, Issei Tomine, a young respected wine critic in his own right. Shinzuku initially rejects the idea, but is pulled into the contest nonetheless.

This is painstakingly researched - all the wines, winemakers, labels, etc. are real - and surprisingly interesting, even for someone who doesn't care much for wine.

I am being mercilessly reductive in comparing the two, but I would describe this like a restrained, staid, Food Wars, where instead of food orgasms and people's clothes exploding, the wine gives Shinzuku lovely visions that reflect the wine's taste.
