Wine: Something for the weekend?
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.

2009 Popolino Rosso
We liked the previous vintage of this crowd-pleasing Sicilian rosso and we like the new vintage every bit as much for its vivid cherryish fruit quality and juicy freshness; slips down a treat with pasta and finger food. £4.99, Marks & Spencer

The vanilla undertone in the aroma of this bright, modern tempranillo blend infuses the wine's brambly, succulent textured fruit with spice in a seamless, velvet glove package. Reduced to £9.35, from £11.69, until Tuesday, Waitrose
Push the boat out
