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.

Although it's produced near the snow-capped Tupungato volcano, this powerfully full-bodied and rich Argentinian white has a touch of spice on the nose, reminiscent of Alsace pinot gris. Ideal for lightly spicy Asian curries.

An intensely tropical style of sauvignon with juicy passion- fruit flavours and fine zip of lemony acidity. In the screwcapped livery that's the pride of Marlborough producers, this is one of the successes of the vintage.

A fine blend of 40-year-old grenache, syrah and mourvèdre with tobaccoey aroma and spicy fruit. Could be aged for five to eight years.
