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 £5

2008 Casillero del Diablo Shiraz Rosé

Forget hothouse Spanish berries and enjoy instead the summer-pudding fruitiness of this spring-like, new- vintage Chilean pink. £4.66, down from £6.99, Sainsbury's, until 17 March

Under £10

2005 Bourgogne Blanc, Buisson-Battault

An affordable yet exceptional white burgundy thanks to a degree of complexity and flavour from the stirring of lees in barrel, which brings mealy characters to the baked-apple, fruity qualities. £9.99, Majestic

Splash out

2006 John Duval Entity Shiraz

This shiraz displays a pure quality of blackberry fruit tempered by pepper; drinking now, though it will cellar nicely for 10 years. £17.95-£20.99, Bennetts Fine Wines (01386 840392), Cooden Cellars (01323 649663)
