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: 2003 Villa Malea Oaked Viura, £2.99, Sainsbury's
This clean, fresh, lightly smoky Spanish white made from Rioja's viura grape slips down easily with its juicy, ripe fruit and zesty twist of grapefruity acidity. Down from £4.99 for Sainsbury's Wine Festival until 2 March, it's the ideal everyday dry white.
Under a tenner: 2003 Zonte's Footstep Shiraz Viognier, Langhorne Creek, £5.99, Sainsbury's
Also reduced by £2 until 2 March, this is an aromatic, in-vogue Australian blend of shiraz and viognier, the Côte Rôtie grapes. It's full of clove spice and cinnamon, with a twist of pepper and generously rich and rounded, spicy fruit.
Splash out: 2001 Kooyong Pinot Noir, Mornington Peninsula, From 14.95, Lea & Sandeman, (020-7244 0522)
A gem of a pinot noir from one of Australia's coolest regions. It's perfumed and velvety on the palate with a cherry and mulberry-like fruitiness that recalls a more opulently seductive burgundy.
