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 Brown Brothers Tarrango

A fruity, juicy cherryish Beaujolais but with a little more opulence, ideal with bolognese or sausages and onion mash. £4.49, to 5 March, was £5.99, Waitrose

Under a tenner: 2004 Zonte's Footstep Shiraz-Viognier

Côte Rôtie's blending of syrah with viognier has encouraged a storm of imitators in the New World - such as this satisfyingly spicy, peppery blend. £5.99, to 14 March, down from £7.99, Sainsbury's

Splash out: 2003 Fonterutoli Chianti Classico

From the heart of Tuscany, this is the very model of a modern chianti with the sangiovese's intense sour-cherry aromas. £13.99, major Somerfield stores
