I'm not sure about the UK territories not connected to the mainland but I'm pretty sure that its 18.

All British territories, even if unlinked to the mainland, are still governed by British Laws and services (it's an odd sight to see a Royal Mail postbox several thousand miles away from Britain). As such, the legal drinking age for most alcohol is 18, but there are some antiquated loopholes - you can drink a port or sherry with a meal in a pub from the age of 16, at the Landlord's discretion. Just another marvellous little trinket of useless information thanks to our marvellous semi-codified Constitution :)

18

18 years to purchase alchohol. It may be served with food when with an adult before that age.

The legal age is 18, however some drink since they were wee ones. Substituting the bottle for a "bottle" is the norm with these wankers! It's the nature of the beast home boy.
