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.

A refreshingly crisp, chablis-style Chilean chardonnay. The Casablanca Valley's cool climate gives an appealing dry, tropically fruity wine with crisp, grapefruity acidity but at an everyday price.

Under a tenner: 2000 Casa Girelli Virtuoso, Primitivo di Puglia, £9.99, D Byrne (01200 423152), Amps Fine Wines (01832 273502), Oddbins Fine Wine

Spicy and aromatic, its deep, rich, damson-plum fruit flavour is enhanced by vanilla oak from the cask. Try it with meat-based pasta sauces.

Splash out: 2002 Guigal Condrieu, £23.03, Tesco

There's viognier and viognier. This is the genuine Condrieu article from Marcel Guigal in the northern Rhône. Scented with jasmine and apricot, it has rich, peachy fruit combining powerful flavours with the floral delicacy of the variety.
