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.

It's well worth making this crisply refreshing and lightly smoky unoaked chardonnay with its citrusy tang (from Jean-Marc Brocard, the wizard of Chablis) your everyday dry white.

A lovely drop of Sicilian rosso, this seamless blend of the local nero d'avola grape with cabernet sauvignon combines smooth damson-plum flavours and natural acidity with the sleek tones of cabernet in an utterly irresistible, wholly gluggable blend.

Many bottles of Aussie shiraz are lined up, but few are chosen on the retailer's tasting bench. This Adelaide Hills shiraz has the northern-Rhône-like pepper and spice, with a classy combo of opulent fruit and elegant poise.
