Your support helps us to tell the story

In my reporting on women's reproductive rights, I've witnessed the critical role that independent journalism plays in protecting freedoms and informing the public.

Your support allows us to keep these vital issues in the spotlight. Without your help, we wouldn't be able to fight for truth and justice.

Every contribution ensures that we can continue to report on the stories that impact lives

Under £5

2008 Casillero del Diablo Shiraz Rosé

Forget hothouse Spanish berries and enjoy instead the summer-pudding fruitiness of this spring-like, new- vintage Chilean pink. £4.66, down from £6.99, Sainsbury's, until 17 March

Under £10

2005 Bourgogne Blanc, Buisson-Battault

An affordable yet exceptional white burgundy thanks to a degree of complexity and flavour from the stirring of lees in barrel, which brings mealy characters to the baked-apple, fruity qualities. £9.99, Majestic

2006 John Duval Entity Shiraz

This shiraz displays a pure quality of blackberry fruit tempered by pepper; drinking now, though it will cellar nicely for 10 years. £17.95-£20.99, Bennetts Fine Wines (01386 840392), Cooden Cellars (01323 649663)
