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.

From Portugal's deep south, an aromatic red with ripe, juicy plum and blackcurrant fruit flavours. A well-judged touch of spicy oak is balanced by fresh damsony acidity. An all-purpose and affordable red.

Peachy aromas and a refreshing, tongue-tingling spritz. This powerfully full-flavoured and full-bodied dry Cape white exotically blends chardonnay and viognier grapes for richness enlivened by clean, juicy acidity.

Fabulously rich, wonderfully spicy. One of the best New World pinot noirs I've come across in a while. Stocks are low, so hurry to bag Australia's answer to red burgundy.
