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.

2013 Morrisons Chenin Blanc, Western Cape

This crisp Cape chenin is refreshingly aromatic with apple and quince undertones and a pear fruitiness which gives way to some dryness. £6.99, Morrisons

2012 Harvey Nichols Watervale Riesling

Clean, zingy and refreshingly lime-scented with a delicate prickle of bubbles on the tongue, this is mouthwateringly dry and tangy. £16, Harvey Nichols

2012 Christian Bellang Bourgogne Blanc Sous la Velle

This stylish barrel-fermented chardonnay is intensely peachy with an opulent flavour, good concentration and a lively nut freshness that makes it very drinkable. £19, Oddbins
