Exactly... some European cultures even raise their kids drinking wine just as much as any other beverage. In much of Europe, there is no legal drinking age, just a legal purchasing age.... much different than what we have here. In Britain, you can drink from age 5 if under adult supervision. The main difference is that over there, it isn't seen as something forbidden that you're not supposed to have... it's just another part of their diet. It's over here that kids drink to get "fucked up"... it's human nature to want what you can't have.
