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: 2005 Bodegas Borsao Mitico Garnacha, Campo de Borja

The most expensive of a trio of good-value garnachas, this justifies the extra pence with an added degree of strawberry fruitiness. £6.99, or £4.66, buy two get three, Thresher, Wine Rack

Under a Tenner: 2006 Pirque Estate Sauvignon Blanc

The most characterful sauvignon blanc to emerge from this Chilean estate; an aromatic dry white with assertive, New Zealand-like scents. £6.99, M&S

Splash Out: 2005 Chablis, Terroirs de Chablis, Verget

Verget is the company arm of the eccentric Belgian grower Jean-Marie Guffens, and this chablis, with its bone- dry minerality and high flavour extract, is a classic. £14.49, Oddbins
