I'm really surprised by the amount of people who blindly obey the law and using as a justification "it's the law".
Back on topic. I wouldn't provide alcohol for my kids as in buy them alcohol. However, if we(the family) were eating and drinking wine or having a beer during a hot summer day, I wouldn't exclude them (unless they where young <13ish) by not letting them drink alcohol like everyone else. I might dilute their wine a little at first though. So basically I wouldn't put a restriction on alcohol, I would simply make sure that they don't drink too much. When they get older 16ish that responsibility becomes theirs.
As for most people saying that early drinking creates more responsible drinking behavior; I strongly disagree. The only way I see people drink responsibly is by either not liking alcohol or if they do (which is my case) by drinking too much a few times. How else would you know how much is too much without drinking too much at least once.
