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 Tesco Finest South Chenin Blanc African Reserve

From Ken Forrester, one of the Cape's most articulate advocates of old-vine chenin blanc. £4.99, Tesco

Under a tenner: 2004 Fiano d'Avellino, Feudi di San Gregorio

A complex dry white from Campania, with an apricoty fruit flavour reminiscent of viognier. The perfect foil for smoked salmon or grilled sardines. £9.99, Waitrose

Splash out: 2005 Iona Sauvignon Blanc

This full-bodied wine from Andrew Gunn takes South African sauvignon to new heights, substituting subtle gooseberry tones for in-your-face fruit. £11.99-£12.65, Laithwaites (0870 444 8383); Villeneuve Wines (01721 722500)
