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.

From the giant Settesoli Co-operative in Sicily, this is a delightful, cherryish rosso whose softly juicy, summer-pudding fruit is just what's required to make the barbie go with a zing.

Under £10

2007 Val do Salnés Albariño

From Spain's Galician coast, the aromatic, peachy richness of flavour of this stylish albariño is tempered by the sort of crisp acidity that marks it out as a classic seafood-friendly dry white.

£9.99, Marks & Spencer

2007 Henschke Louis Semillon, Eden Valley

The apple and gooseberry-like concentration of this classic cool-climate Australian semillon from the Henschke family of Hill of Grace fame is balanced by a tonic freshness.
