How do you innovate in a world built on luxury and tradition? Justin Meade sits down to talk about how Maison Telmont is innovating to make sustainable champagne. That includes shipping their bottles only by sail power, redesigning the glass and the shape of the bottle itself to be lighter, and partnering with organizations like SailGP and the Billion Oyster Project to reduce their carbon footprint while still making great bubbles. Incidentally, the whole thing takes on kind of a nautical theme, which is a bonus.

PLUS, Knicks in Five! Sports are heating up across the country but what does that mean for bars and liquor stores. Some people are betting big, but whether the fans show up remains to be seen.
