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
2007 House White

Considering the low-key name and even lower-key price, there's a surprising amount more flavour and character to this appley dry Gascon blend of colombard and ugni blanc than you might have anticipated.

£3.79, M&S

Under a Tenner
2006 De Bortoli Vat 4 Petit Verdot

Australia provides the ideal climate for the petit verdot grape; this example from the De Bortoli family combines aromatic expression with delightful fruitiness and mellow tannins.

£7.99, Sainsbury's

Splash Out
2006 Condrieu, M Chapoutier

If you want to give your loved one (OK, and yourself) a treat this summer, this superfresh and intense honeysuckle confection encapsulates the magic of the viognier grape.

£25, Majestic
