T Series Brut: "Mistress of the Bubbles" in wine-centric manga

Taltarni T Series Brut appeared as "Mistress of the Bubbles" in the latest issue of 'Kami no Shizuku', the manga, or Japanese comic, that has sparked a wine boom not only in Japan, but in Taiwan, China and Korea.

'Kami no Skizuku' ("The Drops of God"), masterfully penned by siblings Yuko and Shin Kibayashi, is a heady mix of drama, passion and suspense, with just the right dosage of wine knowledge to make it a phenomenally influential wine guide. In 2009, 'Decanter Magazine' listed Yuko and Shin among the 50 most influential people in the wine world.

"Wine shops right across Asia advertise the appearance of wines in this comic," says Richard Kingman, Taltarni's Sales & Marketing Director for Australia & Asia. "These wines develop a cult following within Asia, so this is a huge honour for us."

The plot:

The comic's protagonist, the estranged son of a recently deceased renowned wine critic, finds himself competing with his adopted brother, a talented sommelier, to inherit a wine collection worth ¥20 billion. Their challenge is to uncover the identity of the world's 13 finest wines: the 12 "apostles" plus the legendary "Kami no Shinzuku". The protagonist must learn everything there is to know about wine in order to defeat his sibling rival.

Taltarni's plot entanglement:

Champagne is analogous to a king's mistress, while "everyday sparkling" is analogous to a king's wife. The amount paid for a mistress is equivalent to an expensive pair of ladies' heels, whereas "everyday sparkling" is more around the tennis shoes or sandals mark. So, to enjoy the "mistress of bubbles" every night, you have to find a champagne lookalike at sandals prices. Australian sparkling, in particular Taltarni T Series Brut, is this recommended lookalike or "mistress of bubbles". It has intensity, good acidity and perhaps more depth than most mistresses!
