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 1998 MontGras Chardonnay Reserva, Colchagua Valley, £5.99, Sainsbury's.

The delicately toasty, aromatic character derived from fermentation and stirring of the grape lees in small oak casks gives this accomplished Chilean chardonnay from MontGras' pioneering winery a degree of richness and complexity, which is held in check by a crisp aftertaste.

Red 1999 Finca El Retiro Malbec, Mendoza, £5.49, Waitrose

Showing the vibrant pluminess of the excellent 1999 vintage, this perfumed red from Mendoza's Tittarelli family is liberally fleshed out with the kind of plush mulberry-like fruit attained by the malbec grape only in Argentina's warm, Andean climate.
