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 Inti Pinot Grigio, £4.99, Thresher, Wine Rack
In its tall, expensive-looking bottle, this exuberant Argentinian pinot grigio from La Riojana co-operative in Argentina's La Rioja region is sprightly, fresh and spicy with the delightful character of fresh pears.
Under a tenner: 2002 Château des Erles Cuvée des Ardoises, Fitou, £7.50-£8, Roberson (020-7271 2121) and Berry Bros & Rudd (0870 900 4300)
Behind the powerful white-pepper aromas and deliciously pure, raspberryish fruit of this sumptuous Languedoc blend, silky smooth tannins glide effortlessly across the palate.
Splash out: 2001 Spier Private Collection Merlot, £10.96, Asda (40 stores)
One of the hits of the new-look Asda range. This deliciously opulent, richly concentrated Cape Bordeaux-style red has enough class to suggest a superior Saint-Emilion in everything but the price. A cracking Sunday-lunch red.
