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

White

1999 Terra Viva Organic Soave, £4.49, Tesco

This makes a refreshing change from thebog-standard stuff that passes for soave. This zingily fresh, Venetian dry white with its undertones of pears is madeby the Fasoli Gino wineryfrom a blend of organic grapes. It's fine as an apéritif orwith a carbonara orvongole-style sauce.

Red

1999 Elsa's Barbera, Valentin Bianchi, £2.99, Co-op

Specially reduced at theCo-op this week, this gutsy little Argentinian number delivers the kind of robustly ripe fruitiness you usuallyhope for in a beaujolais, but with an extra ruggedness that will take strong pizza flavourings such as pepperoni, anchovy or olive.
