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.

Night In

2012 Root 1 Carmenère, Colchagua Valley, Chile

A fragrant blend of carmenère with a dash of spicy syrah from Viña Ventisquero, plenty of juicy-textured blackcurrant fruit and the fresh touch of the carmenère grape's mint. £8.99, Morrisons

Dinner party

2012 Bolfan Primus Orange Pinot Sivi, Croatia

A pretty tawny orange, this is a distinctive white made from pinot gris showing deliciously spicy apple and peachy fruitiness. £14, Marks & Spencer

Splash out

2012 Eben Sadie Sequillo White

This is one of South Africa's great white wines, whose intense stonefruit flavour is flecked with honey while a minerally acidity carries it through to a long, dry finish. £20.50, Oddbins
