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.

2008 Sauvignon Blanc Vin de Pays du Val de Loire

Aromatic, vivacious sauvignon blanc for less than a fiver? This little number, with its elderfloral and nettley scent and gooseberry and citrus flavours hits the nail on the head. £4.99, Marks & Spencer

Under £10

2006 Gigondas Notre Dame Des Pallières

This peppery southern-Rhône blend of grenache, syrah and mourvèdre is so opulent that, with its heart of powerful black-fruited darkness, you could be forgiven for taking it for Chateauneuf-du-Pape. £9.99, Majestic

Splash out

2004 Marques de Riscal Rioja Reserva

A mature Rioja blend of mainly tempranillo with a dash of the graciano and mazuelo grapes, vanilla aromas of oak lead into a beautifully balanced mix of ripe red and black fruits and slinky textures. £12.99, Sainsbury's
