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: 2006 Casablanca Valley Chardonnay

Air-conditioned by the Pacific, this excellent value, new vintage chardonnay is a clean, crisp dry white displaying peachy flavours and tropical freshness. £4.99, M&S

Under a Tenner: 2004 Château Tour Léognan

A classic Graves blend of two-thirds sauvignon and a third semillon; a fine example of the style, minerally and rich with lightly toasty oak and fine lemony freshness. £9.49, Waitrose

Splash Out: 2005 Sancerre Roc de L'Abbaye

Pure Loire Valley sauvignon from ace grower Florian Mollet, who coaxes intense aromas from the variety and combines them with the rich but flinty fruit qualities of the Sancerre. £12.49, Oddbins
