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.

2007 Bushland Single Estate Shiraz

All of Aldi's wines normally listed at £4.99 are reduced to £3.99 this month, so now's the time to head for your local store in search of affordable wines like this smoky Hunter Valley shiraz. £3.99, Aldi, normally £4.99.

Under £10

2006 Tinto da Anfora

Portuguese in its make-up of mainly aragonez and touriga nacional grapes, but with a touch of cab sav, this is a powerful Iberian red enveloped in stylish oak whose vivid raspberry scents give way to a damsony juiciness. £6.49, Sainsbury's.

Splash out

2007 Domaine Thibert et Fils, Pouilly Vinzelles

Pouilly Vinzelles is a chardonnay from the Mâconnais region, so it's not surprising that this fine dry white burgundy displays such a richness and nutty character, all the while finishing on an appetisingly dry note. £11.99, Waitrose.
