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 Steeple Jack Unwooded Chardonnay

I like the Ballast Stone winery's jolly label but even more I love the fresh, ripe, peach and pineappley fruitiness of this tropical Australian chardonnay.

£4.99, Tesco

Under a Tenner

2007 Anakena Single Vineyard Viognier

This aromatic wine from Chile's Rapel Valley combines floral scents with rich, peachy fruit and a light touch of oak.

£8.46, buy two get three price = £5.66, Threshers, Wine Rack

Splash Out

Churton Pinot Noir, Marlborough

This great raspberryish pinot noir from Brit Sam Weaver is a finely crafted wine that's not a million miles from fine Savigny-les-Beaune.
