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.

Couch potato

2010 Muscadet de Sèvre et Maine sur lie, Domaine Malinge

There's an ocean-breezy freshness to this dry Loire Valley white with its appley bite and crisp tang thanks to its cool Atlantic location. £6.15, buy 6 = £4.61 from Wednesday (on all Morrisons' wines)

Dinner party

2008 Viña Mayu Reserva Syrah, Elqui Valley, Chile

Smoke and tar assail the nostrils in the mould of the northern Rhone's Crozes-Hermitage, only more opulent, while ageing in oak casks adds a supple texture. £9.99, Sainsbury's

Splash out

2009 Esprit de Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru, Burgundy

Like Chablis, this is classic northern white Burgundy with mineral-fruit quality and crisp acidity, combining ripe fruit with the character of its location. £15.99, Waitrose
