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.

Dry aromatic white with zesty, gooseberry fruit and almost Sancerre-like minerality. This herbaceous sauvignon blanc makes a tongue-tingling change from Aussie chardonnay.

Treat yourself to the house champagne at Le Gavroche (for a little less money). This pure chardonnay fizz from the grand cru village of Le Mesnil in the Côte des Blancs boasts a rich toasty flavours and ethereally foamy mouthfilling mousse.
