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 Tesco Finest Vintage Claret

Good value red Bordeaux does exist. As proved by this very decent gluggy claret with its modern, coffee-bean veneer of oak and fresh capsicum leafiness. £4.99, Tesco

Under a tenner: 2005 Doña Paula Los Cardos Sauvignon Blanc, Tupungato

A delightful, crisp example of the sauvignon grape at its zingy best. An aromatic sauvignon blanc that Argentina can be proud of. £5.99, Oddbins

Splash out: 2003 Gardiés Blanc Vieilles Vignes, Côtes du Roussillon

Rich, toasty, dry white that could almost be fine burgundy - but for the power and Pyrenean minerality captured by gifted grower Jean Gardiés. £12.95 bottle/ case, Laytons and Jeroboams in London
