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.It's a Bank Holiday weekend, so, with fingers crossed for fine weather, here are three wines suitable for outdoor drinking…
A red
Tucumen Malbec 2014 Mendoza
A vibrant expression of purest Argentine Malbec – really fruity, juicy and accessible, but with that deeper, richer element that makes this grape so appealing. Wonderful with all barbecued meats and even robust grilled fish. £11.99 (or £7.99 each for two bottles if bought as part of six mixed bottles), Majestic
A white
Fresquito Pedro Ximenez 2014
The white wines of Montilla-Moriles in southern Spain are highly distinctive: made like nearby sherry, but not fortified and rarely seen in the UK. This is a young, very fresh wine, with interesting flavours of almonds and apples. An ideal aperitif with nibbles and brilliant with fish tapas. £9, Marks & Spencer
A rosé
Cotes du Rhône Rosé Château D'Ampuis 2011
Refreshing, full-bodied, elegant, made mainly from Grenache and Cinsault, delivering fresh red-berry flavours with touches of citrus and herbs and a little hit of spice. Drink seriously cold, on a warm night, with a big fish stew. £10.50, farehamwinecellar.co.uk
