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: 2004 Adobe Merlot, Central Valley

Add a couple of bottles of this aromatic and intensely juicy Chilean merlot - in the mould of an opulent young claret - to a mixed case. 2 bottles for £9.98, Majestic Wine

Under a tenner: 2002 Le Haut-Médoc de Giscours Grande Réserve

Declassified Haut-Médoc from Château Giscours in Margaux. Delicately herbal, with a stylish oak sheen and approachable fruitiness. £7.99, down from £12.99, to 21 May, Waitrose

Splash out: 2004 de Bortoli Yarra Valley Reserve Shiraz

Made in the restrained and balanced style of Côte Rôtie; with typical pepper and spice undertones, rich berry fruit and deft oak, but it's not over the top. £19.99, Oddbins Fine Wine
