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 tenner: 2004 Santenay Vieilles Vignes, Lucien Muzard

This Côte de Beaune from the village of Santenay is an admirable pinot noir with a touch of oak, ripe, aromatic and weighty cherry fruit, plus silky smooth tannins. £9.99, Majestic

Splash out: 2001 La Parde de Haut-Bailly, Pessac-Léognan

The reputation of Château Haut Bailly grows with each new vintage. Its finely crafted second wine charms with a succulent cherry fruitiness. £16.50, Berry Bros & Rudd, (0870 900 4300)
