Unless, of course, one is counting "the house wine of the South" -- sweet iced tea.
And EE-BO, I think you're exactly right that "When alcohol is treated as some dark secret for adults only, it is easier to get in trouble once you go off to college."

Same for us - my parents don't drink & we never had wine or other alcohol in the house. I am 33 (the shame) and I don't like wine (even more shame). I may order a mixed drink twice a year (if that) but mostly I don't drink b/c a) I am a lightweight; and b) I can't afford it! LOL!
I much prefer Southern wine as described
I agree that it shouldn't be kept dark & secretive - but I can't imagine giving Eli wine at 10. Maybe some grape juice served in a wine glass instead
