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.

2008 Hardy's Anniversary Shiraz
I'm not convinced it was ever worth £7.99, but at under a fiver, this youthful, liquorice spicy Aussie shiraz, with a juicy fruit quality and hit of tannin cries out for spicy sausages or a classic spag bol. £4.99, Waitrose, until Tuesday
Under £10
2007 De Bortoli Gulf Station, Yarra Valley
This is a resonantly fragrant Aussie pinot noir whose juicy, raspberryish fruitiness and clean-cut spicy oak is a fine example of what the Aussies, such as the de Bortoli family, can achieve at under £10. £9.99, Sainsbury's

2008 Blind River Sauvignon Blanc
This Kiwi sauvignon from Marlborough is typically pungent with a mass of passion fruit and elderflower scents, with a delicious tropical fruit ripeness on the palate adding zesty acidity and a lively zip. £11.99, Oddbins
