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.The Perfect Match
French wine is the perfect complement to many foods, from the simplicity of French bread to the gastronomic delights of modern cuisine. But when it comes to something spicy, it can be hard to find the right match. The wines from Alsace have an
intense fruity flavour and taste wonderfully dry, harmonising perfectly with Thai,
Chinese or Indian cuisine. Unlike most French wines, those from Alsace, in the
north-east corner of France, are generally named after the grape variety from which they are made. Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Sylvaner, Muscat, Tokay Pinot Gris all produce white wines. Pinot Noir produces red wines. Gewurztraminer and Pinot Blanc complement dishes such as mild curry and Thai chicken. Riesling is perfect with all kinds of sea food. The soft Pinot Blanc makes a delicious accompaniment with lightly spiced Chinese. This week, we have five mixed cases of Alsace wines to win.
