I should have been more specific with my SCA comment; I was specifically thinking of home-brewers. I've almost never been offered *commercial* wine in the SCA. :-)
Now, to your question. Most drinks should be just fine, including opened bottles of pop, many beers, coffee, tea, and non-grape fruit juice. Grape products (juice and wine) are special, but even so, if the bottle is sealed and you offer it to the Jew to open, it should be fine. I'm saying "should" because stringency levels vary from group to group or person to person, so it's hard to make a blanket statement. Similarly, some won't want to drink it out of your mugs/glasses/goblets/etc because of kashrut issues; for example, some materials are more absorbent so when you drink from them you're kind of drinking a little of everything that's ever been in them. But most people in the SCA carry their own mugs etc anyway.
Finally, as someone with special dietary needs that are my problem not yours, I strive to not inconvenience or upset people trying to show me kindness. If I decline your wine I'm not going to say it's religiously inappropriate; I'll just demur. For all you know, I just can't have alcohol right now. I would only explain the halachic issues if specifically asked.
