It's illegal to sell alcohol to a minor but there's no law against a 14 year old having a glass of wine with their Sunday lunch.

Here in Scotland you have to be 16 to drink (with food only, wine or beer only, no spirits) in a licensed premises - Scottish Licensing Law
Parents or guardians must be present, a 16 y.o. wouldn't get served alcohol if they went to a restaurant with their 18 y.o. pal

I was out for a meal a while ago and a mate of mine in his 50s was refused alcohol as he didnt look old enough. He was livid but I, who dinnae drink anyway, would have been flattered!

But in the family home, I don't think there's a law mandating a minimum age for consuming alcohol.
