If your nephew is being charged under Minnesota Statute 340A.503 (drinking underage) - he will likely face a Misdemeanor with a statutory minimum fine of $100 (Minn. Stat. 340A.703) and a maximum of $1000 and 90 days in jail. There may be issues with the ticket though. One of my first questions is what grounds the officer had to stop and ask your nephew to take the test.
I would suggest you check with an attorney in your area to go through the specifics of this case. Feel free to give us a call for a free initial consultation.
