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.

The exceptional 2002 of this dry riesling from Western Australia, with an Opal Fruits-like freshness, is a steal at Tesco's Spring Wine Festival which kicked off on Wednesday.

You'd be pushed to find a better syrah / shiraz at this price. After a blip in the previous vintage, this superbly aromatic South Australia shiraz, with its sweet liquorice and tobacco-spice aromas, is immensely seductive. A casserole special.

What a difference a vintage makes! This once-thick New Zealand red Burgundy wannabe has become an elegantly perfumed red with a seductive loganberry-like fruitiness and the deftest touch of spicy oak. Maybe it's the screwcap.
