THE Rovers Return is to get a rival for business from Coronation Street's drinkers - a swanky new wine bar.
Bookie Peter Barlow takes on the boozers' institution with a flash gaff that swaps Newton & Ridley ales for European lagers.
The bar and eatery - in the disused Turner's Joinery building - will also have a wine cellar for more "upmarket" clientele. It will be the first-ever boozer to open on the same cobbled road as the Rovers - although there are other pubs nearby.
Peter wants Leanne to run the place and even plans to sell the bookie to finance it all. But Ken is not keen on his alcoholic son to be involved in this venture.
The storyline will air in October.
