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 a Fiver: 2004 Co-op Explorers Vineyard Unoaked Chardonnay

Under a Tenner: 2000 Mount Pleasant Elizabeth Semillon

This Australian dry white is unique both for its relatively low alcohol content (just 11.5%) and its well-defined bottle-aged flavours and crisp lime-zest fruitiness. £9.99, selected Morrisons stores

Splash Out: 2003 Château de l'Engarran 'Cuvée Quetton St Georges'

A smoky blend of Mediterranean grapes, displaying blackberry fruit richness tinged with spice and pepper from the Languedoc. £12.99, Oddbins
