My parents let us have a little wine with our Sunday lunch (certainly not a whole glassful*). Cunningly, they served it in metal goblets, which makes the wine taste foul. Took me until I was 19 to discover that actually wine was quite nice.
*Unlike on my French exchange when I was 13, when they would give me wine (that they personally had made) by the tumbler-full, and then act all offended if I didn't drink it. I know now that was a practical joke on me, and they wouldn't really have been terribly offended. Their kids really did routinely drink that much without watering it!
