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.

2007 Domaine La Croix Martelle Vin de Pays d'Oc

Your guests will be pleasantly surprised by the aromatic ripe blackberry fruitiness that gives this organic blend of grenache, syrah and mourvèdre its juicy, moreish quality.

£4.99, Waitrose

Under £10

2007 Lirac, Cave de Saint Desirat

This excellent value red is a vivid southern Rhône blend of grenache with syrah, mourvèdre and cinsault; and it has the powerful effect of a wine with not inconsiderable (14.5 per cent) weight.

Splash out

2006 Chablis Domaine Pierre de Préhey, Domaine Brocard

Aromas of toasty chardonnay lead to a full-flavoured dry white flecked with honey, yet retaining the subtle complexity of the authentic minerally chablis style.

£10.99, M&S
