■ "Authenticity" and "Cost Performance" Drive the Hit

According to surveys conducted at the "'Kami no Shizuku' Collaboration Wine Announcement and All-Type Tasting Event" held on Thursday, April 23, 2026, prior to its re-release, and on social media after its launch, customers who regularly enjoy wines in the 1,000-yen range have expressed their surprise at the overwhelming quality, different from conventional convenience store wines, with comments such as "cheaper than I expected" and "a 5-year aged Spanish wine available at an astonishing price" compared to its actual price.

In response to the modern need to balance "authentic taste" and "affordability" amidst rising prices, the "Gist Gran Reserva," a 5-year aged wine available for around 1,000 yen, has been accepted for its authentic quality and excellent cost performance, becoming a record-breaking hit. As quantities are limited, please visit your nearest FamilyMart nationwide to purchase the "Kami no Shizuku" collaboration wines soon.

■ Recommended Comments from Sommelier Koichi Tanabe, with over 20 Years of Experience

FamilyMart's "Kami no Shizuku" collaboration wines are one of the lineups that I highly recommend as "super cost-effective wines that are too cheap." "Gist Gran Reserva" and "Gist Reserva Barrel Selected," which have already gained strong support, are synonymous with cost performance, but there are actually hidden gems that are not yet widely known. These are "Core" and "Eirene" from New Zealand. These wines boast a quality that should originally be treated as a higher price range, but they are sold at an astonishing price of around 1,000 yen.

In particular, "Eirene" is a red wine made from grapes in "Central Otago," one of the world's three major Pinot Noir producing regions. I believe there are no other examples in Japan where such a wine is available at such an accessible price.

Through this "Kami no Shizuku" collaboration series, I hope that more people will discover the true essence of wine and the joy of choosing it.
