Is it necessary to 'gift' my wedding guests? What kinds of gifts are standard for wedding attendees?
It's not necessary, but it's great to give them a memento - something that says "thanks for taking time out of your busy lives to join us on this special day." Some creative suggestions might be a disposable camera so they can photograph themselves having fun at your celebration. Also, something personal that symbolizes the celebration is great like a silver wine key with your names and wedding date inscribed. A votive candle inside an organza pouch can be lit in their homes and is also symbolic of your love.

Is it inappropriate to give wedding attendants a wine key or a set of champagne flutes if we know that some are non-drinkers?
Yes, this is fine. If you single them out with a different gift; this might make them feel even more uncomfortable as other attendees raise an eyebrow. Often times, the gift is looked upon as a memento of the occasion. Both of the above gifts mentioned are symbolic of celebration.
