My mother allowed me to start drinking at home at around the age of 16.
I allowed my two older daughters to start trying wine and cocktails at about the age of 16, as well, but both of them have opted not to drink. It just doesn't appeal to them.
I don't know about supplying alcohol for kids parties, though. I'm not so sure I would want to encourage 'partying' and I'm certainly not in the position to give other people's children alcohol, nor would I want to have that responsibility.
