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 1994 J J Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese, £13.99, Waitrose Wine Direct (0800 188881). This mosel riesling classic is still incredibly young with sumptuous, intense lemon and grapefruit flavours delicately poised between sweet and sour fruit and cleansing acidity. Makes a majestic pre-prandial apéritif or try it with a warm potato and tomato salad drizzled with a basil vinaigrette.

Red 1998 Russian River Estate Zinfandel, £12.99, selected Sainsbury's. Ex-fireman Cecil de Loach taps into gnarled old zinfandel vines in California's Sonoma Valley to produce deliciously fruity reds like this moreish example of the variety, with its brambly, berry-like qualities enhanced by an added oak spiciness that chimes well with spicily seasoned food.
