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: 2005 El Dueño Chardonnay

This high-altitude dry white from Bodegas Esmeralda in Argentina displays smoky oak, along with the typical buttery texture of ripe chardonnay. £4.99, Marks & Spencer

Under a tenner: 2004 Salomon Pfaffenberg Riesling

The Vinolok glass stopper is a talking point, as is the wine itself, an aromatic, zesty Austrian dry white whose minerally fruit is just the ticket with firm white fish. £9.99, Oddbins

Splash out: 2004 Meyer Fonné Tokay Pinot Gris

Alsace doesn't always get the credit it deserves, which is a shame when it produces wines of this quality. Perfect with Thai and Chinese food. £13.99, or buy 3 for £9.33, Wine Rack, selected Threshers
