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: 2004 Muscadet Côtes de Grandlieu sur lie, Fief Guérin. £4.99, Waitrose
From a single vineyard planted to old muscadet vines, this is a delightfully fresh example of the Loire grape. The telltale refreshing spritz and piquant acidity makes the dry Atlantic white an excellent match for seafood.
Under a Tenner: 2003 Mas de Guiot Cabernet Syrah, Vin de Pays du Gard. £6.49 or buy 2 = £5.99, Majestic
This is a southern French take on the classic Australian cabernet-shiraz blend with an authentic expression of the cabernet grape's black fruits flavours spiced with syrah for good Mediterranean measure.
Splash Out: 2003 Sainsbury's Premier cru Selection Chablis, Jean-Marc Brocard. £10.99
As a product of a warm and early vintage in the Chablis region, this fine dry white has retained sufficient refreshing acidity to make it a complex, minerally chablis with plenty of fruit concentration and intensity.
