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.

White Wine

2001 Sierra Los Andes Gewürztraminer, £5.50, Marks & Spencer

The headily scented gewürztraminer grape of Alsace is starting to make an impression in the southern hemisphere, not least at Viña Carmen in Chile, where Juan Carlos Faundez has captured the pot-pourri aromas of the grape and combined it with an irresistibly seductive Turkish Delight fruitiness. Makes a great apéritif.

Red Wine

2000 Clos Saint Michel Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Guy Mousset, £9.99, Waitrose

When it's time to dust down the thermals, there are few better options than a heart, mind and body-warming Châteauneuf-du-Pape from southern Rhône, a red whose vivid blackberry succulence and generous alcohol will take the edge off anyone's winter.
