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: 2003 Misiones Cabernet Franc Reserva

From Chile's Rapel Valley, a spicy, juicy little number with cherryish fruit that chimes well with grilled meats and sausages. £4.49, down from £5.99, to 23 April, Co-op (market town stores and superstores)

Under a tenner: 2003 Cortegiara Valpolicella Ripasso, Allegrini

A fresh and juicy red from the regular Tesco list. A classic blend of corvina, rondinella and molinara using amarone grapeskins for extra richness. £7.99, Tesco

Splash out: 2004 Grüner Veltliner Dürnsteiner, Bergdistel Tegernseehof, Wachau

An excellent example of Austria's most widely planted white grape variety makes a fine dry white for spicy, not too hot, South-East Asian curries. £11.99, Oddbins
