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.

2006 Radcliffe's Haut Poitou Sauvignon VDQS

There's life yet in the old VDQS, as this refreshingly juicy Loire sauvignon blanc clearly shows; a perfect everyday springtime dry white.

Under a Tenner

2005 Tesco Finest Alsace Pinot Gris, Cave de Turckheim

Several cuts above your average Alsace pinot gris, the grape also known as pinot grigio, this is a rich, spicy and delicately honeyed example of the variety from a serious cooperative.

This delightful, raspberryish New Zealand pinot noir is made by Glaswegian Christine Kernohan.
