The giant coffee chain is turning its baristas into bar staff by offering wine and beer in a selection of US stores. But do customers really want alcohol alongside their soy decaff latte?

It's already got more coffee permutations than digital places on Pi. Now, along with your Grande double shot decaff no foam soy latte with cinnamon atop - you can soon order a glass of Prosecco or a pint of beer at your local Starbucks.

The chain began offering alcoholic drinks in a handful of locations in its native Seattle back in 2010 as a test run: now it's rolling out the concept in parts of Southern California, followed by Atlanta and Chicago, in an effort to capture the 'Happy Hour' crowd.
