Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.White: 1999 Casa Leona Chardonnay, £4.49, Marks & Spencer
This M&S favourite is one of the best dry whites in its under-a-fiver line-up. Its ripe, exotic, pineappley fruit has a crisp, grapefruity edge to it, which makes this Chilean wine ideal summer sipping, on its own or with white fish in a creamy sauce.
Red: 1998 L'Enclos des Cigales Syrah, Vin de Pays d'Oc, £3.49, Safeway
This robust, spicy, southern French syrah is down 50p to £3.49 for the duration of the Safeway May wine extravaganza, making it something of a bargain. Try with a strong and spicy pasta sauce such as puttanesca.
