In a nutshell it's a bad idea. Studies, like this one, have consistently shown that children who are allowed to drink small amounts of alcohol at home by their well-meaning parents are far more likely to start drinking earlier and to binge-drink. Parents think that by doing it they reduce the risk of their children abusing alcohol when in fact it's exactly the opposite that is true.
I'm not a parent, but my advice to any parent is that if you find out that your child has started drinking, do not keep any alcohol in the house. Alcohol is like any other drug, and is particularly harmful to children.
