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.

2004 Adelaide Hills, Sauvignon Blanc, £4.99, Co-op
The crisp, bright lemony bouquet on this cool-climate Australian sauvignon blanc suggests, and delivers, an equally refreshingly crisp, tropically fruity style of sauvignon blanc, remarkable for its depth of gooseberry flavours and for its affordability.

2003 Tabali Chardonnay, Reserva Especial, £7.94, 130 selected Asda stores
The immediacy of fresh, tropical fruit in this Chilean wine is complemented by an opulent, burgundian style, with crisply refreshing citrusy fruit characters and a smidgen of oak for added complexity and class.

2002 Nuits St Georges, David Duband, £24.49, Oddbins
A delightfully modern red Burgundy from the fine 2002 vintage. This pinot noir has typically mouthwatering raspberryish fruitiness deftly rounded with just a touch of oak. The ideal red for roast duck and game.
