Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

2006 Extra Special Beaujolais Villages

When the gamay grape of Beaujolais is as juicy and refreshing as this, it becomes a delight to drink as an everyday red for washing down anything from pasta and pizza to sausages and autumn game.

2006 Ugaba Red, Stellenbosch

From French-South African joint venture, Anwilka, this Rhône-meets-Bordeaux-style blend of syrah, cab sav and merlot displays a vivid blackberry quality.

2000 Tyrrells Vat 1 Semillon, Hunter Valley New South Wales

An intensely fresh, unoaked dry white whose smoky, lemongrass aromas and toast-and-honey richness set it apart as one of Australia's classic dry whites.
