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.

Night in

2013 Caruso & Minini Perricone

Not just a stylish label but a hugely characterful Sicilian red with an intensely flavoured dried-herb-and-cherries flavour. Fresh and spicy. £8, Marks & Spencer

Dinner party

2013 Escarpment The Edge Pinot Noir

From legendary Larry McKenna, this is a delightfully perfumed and fragrant Kiwi pinot from Martinborough, showing spicy, raspberry flavours. £11.24, down from £14.99, Waitrose

Splash out

2012 Riecine Chianti Classico

This Tuscan blend opens out into an opulent, sweet-and-sour sangiovese. Particularly nice weight and concentration. £16-16.95, Goedhuis, Tanners, Fine & Rare
