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.

Under a fiver: 2003 Safra Nova, £3.19, while stocks last, normally £3.99, Marks & Spencer

Offering fantastic value, especially at the discounted price, this Portuguese blend, dominated by the castelão grape, is packed full of juicy and vibrantly damsony fruit with a slightly minty edge giving it extra freshness and bite.

Under a tenner: 2003 Leasingham Magnus Clare Valley Riesling, £6.99, Sainsbury's, or £7.99, Waitrose

Refreshingly zesty, this is an aromatic Australian dry white with classic lime-zesty characters of riesling enhanced by a refreshing spritz on the palate and zingy acidity. As full-bodied as an Alsace riesling.

Splash out: 2002 Chassagne Montrachet Les Senteurs, £23.20 while stocks last, normally £29, Marks & Spencer

This dry white from Fabrice Lesne delivers peachy chardonnay, nutty oak and minerally flavours, with the richness and intensity you expect from old-vine chardonnay from the Côte de Beaune.
