Bar opening/closing times

The law has just changed in Scotland and the purchase of alchohol is forbidden before 10.00 am. That includes pubs and supermarkets. Flying out of Aberdeen the wife felt like a drink as soon as it was offered. It was before 10.00 am and we were still in the Scottish FIR but along came the bottle of wine.
What is the score with licensing hours and aircraft?
Should you, for example, be flying from Jeddah to the UK with BA, does the champers come out when the wheels are tucked away or when it has left Saudi airspace?
I remember an old comedy film about resurrecting an old railway line where the chief benefactor was assured that he could sink as many G&Ts as he liked when the train was moving.
Anybody know the rules?
