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.For a mule, this Spanish red delivers a relatively gentle kick of vibrantly peppery, juicy raspberryish fruit, making it an ideal Indian summery thirstquencher with a summer pudding berryish quality.
Under a Tenner: 2001 Louis Jadot Morgon Château des Lumières, around £9.99, Waitrose, Budgen
With its delicate berry fruit fragrance, I initially mistook this for a burgundy. Maybe it's because the gamay in this top cru beaujolais takes on some of the cherryish characteristics of the pinot noir grape.
Splash Out: 2003 De Martino Single Vineyard Carmenère, Maipo Valley, £10.49 - £10.99, Fareham Wine Cellar (01329 822733), Cambridge Wine Merchants (01223 568991)
This stylish and concentrated wine walks a tightrope of cassis and black cherry fruit with a twist of fresh acidity.
