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.

2004 Anakena Chardonnay, £4.96, Asda
The tropical, rich and oaky aromas on this Casablanca Valley chardonnay certainly bode well. Take a sip and the refreshing spritz on the palate leads to attractively flavoured fruit which is clean, crisp and pineappley in mini-chablis mould.

2002 Chianti Classico Villa Cafaggio, £9.99, Marks & Spencer
From the heart of the chianti classico region, this is a vivid example of the sangiovese grape, bolstered seemingly by cabernet sauvignon to complement the sour cherry fruitiness of a refreshing, well-crafted Tuscan rosso.

1998 Dominio de Conte Reserva, Bodegas Bretón, £12.99, Waitrose
A reserva rioja with mature, leathery aromas and cranberry and strawberry sweetness. The concentrated richness of the blend of tempranillo and graciano aged in oak for the rounded feeling of a plush leather armchair.
