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.

White

2001 Yalumba Oxford Landing Limited Release Viognier, £6.99, Safeway, Waitrose, Morrisons, EH Booth, virginwines.com

Yalumba is making waves with this popular Rhône white variety in Australia, producing here a perfumed, dry white, exotically shot through with stonefruit flavours and enough body and limey freshness to stand up to a Thai green curry, made with either chicken or pork.

Red

2000 Sainsbury's Reserve Selection Pinotage, £3.99, on special offer until Tuesday (normally £5.49)

From Beyerskloof in the Cape, South Africa, this vivid, exuberantly fruity young pinotage is so full of ripe berries and rustic bite that, although it is still a bit young to drink, it is too good to pass up at the current special discount price. A robust red that would be ideal for drinking with either grilled sausage or a game dish.
