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.

Under £5

2007 Zuccardi Fuzion Shiraz/Malbec

Zuccardi is a byword for good value in Argentinian wine and this warming blend with its fresh dark berry fruit flavours and sweet gluggy fruit is no exception. Just the ticket for everyday sipping and a handy party red too. £4.29, Somerfield, Waitrose.

Under £10

2001 Mount Pleasant Elizabeth Semillon

Hunter Valley Semillon has a remarkable capacity to age into a wine with deliciously toasty characters and flavours of citrus and lemongrass; and this is just such a classic from the Australian company McWilliam's. £9.99, Morrisons.

Splash out

2006 Villa Maria Reserve Pinot Noir, Marlborough

This is New Zealand pinot noir at its aromatic and succulent best, showing sweetly ripe fraise du bois fruitiness, seductively plush-textured opulence and a layer of spicy oak that sits in perfect harmony with the fruit. Around £16.99, Tesco
