Drops of God (French: Les Gouttes de Dieu; Japanese: 神の雫, romanized: Kami no Shizuku) is a French-American-Japanese television series created by Quoc Dang Tran, directed by Oded Ruskin and starring Tomohisa Yamashita and Fleur Geffrier. It is based on the manga series of the same name written by Tadashi Agi and illustrated by Shu Okimoto. The series centres on the competition for inheritance of an estate and its vast wine collection between an heiress and a star student of a well known oenologist who passed away. However, the former experiences severe side effects related to her childhood trauma and the latter's family complicates the process.

In 2024, the series won the International Emmy Awards for best drama series.[4][5]
When wine authority Alexandre Léger dies, he leaves behind the world's finest private wine collection, and a sprawling Tokyo estate. Before his estranged daughter Camille can claim her inheritance, she must battle Alexandre's protégé, Issei, in a series of wine-related tests.
