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: 2005 Valdivieso Sauvignon Blanc, Central Valley

The cool, Casablanca Valley fruit in this tropical blend make this Chilean a most convincing example of the grape. £4.99, Oddbins

Under a tenner: 2004 Smithbrook Pemberton Sauvignon Blanc

Halfway between the pungency of New Zealand and the restraint of Sancerre, this grapefruit-pithy sauvignon manages to combine richness and refreshing dryness. £7.33, Wine Rack

Splash out: 2000 Gewürztraminer Herrenweg, Domaine Zind-Humbrecht

Yellow gold with an exotic pot-pourri scent of rosewater and Turkish Delight - a powerful, spicy Alsace white. £16.99, Tesco (selected 90 stores only)
