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.

William Fevre Domaine Chablis 2012
Benchmark Chablis from a family firm more than 250 years old. Bone dry, some light, fresh fruit notes, a touch of citrus and underpinned by a precise minerality, this is the wine to accompany oysters and roast turbot for a summer lunch. £15.49, noblegreenwines.co.uk; £15.99, robertsandspeight.co.uk

Reserve du Boulas Côtes du Rhône Rosé 2013
Made with the typical blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah near Avignon, this is an uncomplicated, moreish rosé, packed with invigorating red-berry flavours and very dry. Serve very cold with almost any Mediterranean food. £7.99, Marks and Spencer
Bargain basement
Stobi Vranec Classic 2011
A gem from Macedonia, one of the emerging Eastern European producers and great value for a big wine. Made with local Vranec grapes, this is dense and dark, with tastes of bramble and plum and predictably 14.5 ABV. Great with red meat dishes. £8.99 (until 23 June, down from £9.99), winerack.co.uk
