Did the first ending in June reveal just which wine was "The Drops of God", or are we still waiting?

Pity this manga didn't work out in the US. I thought it was a lot of fun.

Apropos the case of those who hoard wine rather than enjoy it, I am reminded of a former acquaintance of mine - the sort of person described as 'of independent means'. (He and his wife had matching his and hers Ferraris!)

A Church of England (Episcopalian) priest, he was being inducted into a new parish, and the bishop who was to perform the ceremony had been invited for a meal before the service. Utterly out of his depth and desperate for a conversation topic. the bishop referred to the fact that the rectory had an extensive wine cellar. 'I hear you keep wine,' he said - to which Tom replied, 'Oh no, Bishop. We don't keep wine: we drink as much of it as we can!'

It is a pity that more of The Drops of God has not become available in English. It was a fascinating and worthwhile series as far as it went.

The English version of DeNA's free Manga Box smartphone and tablet app publishes the manga digitally in English.


Unless I'm missing something Manga Box only ever did the first chapter of Le Vin, Wine Burglar in English for some reason. I don't think it's even available in their Digest feature anymore either. I haven't heard of anyone else trying to put it out legally in English yet either. Which is too bad.
