My parents used to "force" us to try wine, but I didn't like it.

When my father was a kid, the normal little meal between lunch and dinner for him was a bowl of red wine with sugar and half a baggette, to dunk it in. He loved it.

I think it's an important thing to do with kids,
if you go "NO NEVER DRINK WINE" they'll just get hammered as soon as they can buy it themselves.
The french put wine and water in the babies bottles to "help them sleep" which basically means to shut them up for a couple of hours.

Yes, we do similar things in Spain
Like dunking the pacifier on some congac. It works wonders.

I think you're right. If you see the alcohol as a tabu, you go for it everytime you can sneak it. If it's just part of the normal life, you have it when you feel like having it.
