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 Domaine de la Meynarde Plan de Dieu, Côtes du Rhône, £5.49, reduced to £4.39, M&S

No shortage of bang for buck in this spicy Côtes du Rhône blend that's based on grenache: a classic winter warmer.

Under a Tenner: 2004 Chateau Segonzac Oak Aged Bordeaux, Premières Côtes de Blaye, £7.99, Waitrose

I wouldn't normally recommend claret under £10, but this blend of merlot and cabernet sauvignon is definitely worth a shot.

Splash Out: 2004 Saint-Véran, Terroirs de Davayé, Verget, £13.99, Oddbins

This sleek white burgundy from the Belgian eccentric, Jean- Marie Guffens, has peach and pineapple chardonnay fruitiness framed by stylish oak and a refreshing tang.
