clearly i have no idea of the limitations of this site. why on earth would putting wine in a project warrant an NFE marking? i remember when i was a kid my parents would drink wine quite frequently and there was no problem whatsoever. as long as they're not getting drunk, doing anything irresponsible, etc., there's no reason it shouldn't be included. if children view it and actually think it's okay to drink underage, they should immediately be stopped by their parents or guardians and lectured about it. if they're not, then it's their family's fault for not being supportive and paying enough attention to their children. either way, the blame should not fall on you and the project should not be taken down or even NFE'd.


but Scratch is for ALL AGES, I don't think wine is allowed.
I find that it's perfectly fine for adults to be drinking wine inside of a Scratch project… As long as they don't get drunk or anything with it. If they're just hanging out with their friends or something, then it should be fine. Children see adults drink alcoholic beverages ALL THE TIME, and I don't think that a measly Scratch project will influence them to do it themselves underage (I don't know why people think that would happen, kids aren't as easily influenced as many believe). And about “Scratch is for all ages so wine isn't allowed”, is it just because kids aren't allowed to drink wine?? If so, ban projects with cars in it, because kids can't drive cars legally. See what I mean? That's quite the flawed argument there.

I still dont think it's allowed, just have them drink tea or something or just remove it altogether.

Eh…. I don't know… Scratch is a kids site… So I would recommend them drinking juice instead?

That's probably fine. I've seen many adults, including my parents, having alcohol and that didn't encourage me to do it, and I'm sure many other kids know that drinking at the age they are now isn't okay and therefore won't do it at least until they're old enough.
I'd just avoid saying that it's actually wine. If it's just colored red/white or anything, some people might just think it's fruit juice or something. And, as you've said, nobody should get drunk or anything.
If you wanna be really safe, replace it with juice or something.

It's kinda on the fence. I just don't really see why it HAS to be wine (or why they're drinking wine in a picnic lol).

Depends. Too much drink or showing someone drunk will be bit of a raise brow so try to tame it if you add it in….

Some people do think that drinking wine is wrong, or offensive to show, especially to kids, so….
