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.

Aldi is offering its customers the opportunity to sample its wine for free in exchange for reviews shared on Twitter.

Every three months, the supermarket offers budding wine connoisseurs the chance to test its wine as part of its Wine Club.

Reviews of the free wine, alongside the hashtag "#AldiWineClub", are expected on a monthly basis.

"Being part of the panel means that you'll be the first to hear about our award-winning wines, and we'll send you three delicious bottles from our range over a six-week period," Aldi states in its Wine Club announcement.

In addition to the bottles of vino, the 30 chosen testers are provided with tips on how to assess the aroma and body of the wine.

Several oenophiles expressed their excitement of the prospect of being chosen for the scheme.

"Just applied to be on @AldiUK wine panel, one can pray for wine goodness," one person tweeted.

"#AldiWineClub I'm coming. Your Spanish wines are a staple in my house," another remarked.

Applications to become a taster for Aldi's Wine Club close on Monday 3 June.

In order to apply, email wineclub@aldi.co.uk with your name, your Twitter handle, proof of your age and a maximum of 150 words outlining why you think you should be selected.

Always drink responsibly. For more information, visit drinkaware.co.uk.
