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.

Under a fiver: 2003 Cave Saint Pierre Côtes du Rhône Villages, Preference, £4.99, reduced from £6.99, Tesco, to 5 October

From Tesco's Wine Festival, which kicked off on Wednesday, try this spicy southern- Rhône blend of grenache, syrah, carignan and mourvèdre with chunky, dry tannins.

Under a tenner: 2002 Tesco Finest Denman Estate Reserve Semillon, Hunter Valley, £6.39, reduced from £7.99, to 5 October

There's a refreshingly aromatic, zesty edge to this screwcapped Hunter Valley dry white, which at only 11 per cent alcohol, delivers limey fruit flavour and tropical, citrusy tang in abundance.

Splash out: 2001 Tesco Finest Nuits Saint Georges, £13.99, reduced from £18.99, to 5 October

Another Festival special, this vivid pinot noir's berry perfume tinged with a delicate touch of spicy oak combines well with the intense, cherryish fruitiness and incisive fresh acidity of the 2001 vintage.
