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.

Deeply coloured Spanish red based on the monastrell grape. Fragrant, with plenty of smooth, rounded blackberry fruitiness and a spicy, pepper character making for a smooth, fruity glugger, it's perfect for grills and barbecues.

Under a Tenner: 2002 Cave de Turckheim Grand Cru Riesling, £9.99, Booths

One of France's most reliable co-operatives produces wines that express the grape variety and character of the region, as seen in this aromatic, full-bodied, richly textured dry riesling. The ideal partner for fish, summer salads or Asian dishes.

Splash Out: 2002 Nepenthe Charleston Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir, 2 for £20, normally £14.99, Oddbins (limited availability)

This stylish cool climate pinot noir displays the classic berry fragrance of red burgundy's grape variety with a ripe, berry fruitiness that's enhanced by subtle oak maturation. Moreish stuff.
