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: 2004 Asda Extra Special Lower Murray Chambourcin, £4.48, down from £5.98 (or six for £4.03 each), Asda
Chambourcin, a distinctive grape variety from Rutherglen Estates in Victoria, produces a vibrant red, with damsony flavours, soft fruitiness and a fresh bite of acidity.
Under a tenner: 2004 Villa Maria Private Bin Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, £6.39, reduced from £7.99 until 12 April, Sainsbury's
A fine Kiwi sauvignon that's the benchmark for Marlborough sauvignon blanc. The 2004 vintage shows why: it's an assertively aromatic dry white; the perfect spring refresher.
Splash out: 2002 Pouilly Fuissé Les Prouges, Domaine Jeandeau, £18.99, Adnams, Southwold, Suffolk (01502 727222)
From the classic 2002 vintage for white burgundy, this is a fine example of ripe chardonnay at its Mâconnais best. It's instantly appealing and complex, lightly smoky with finely crafted oak nuttiness.
