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: 2004 The Boulders Pinot Grigio, £3.99, down from £4.99, Co-op; £4.99, Morrisons
Floral aromas, refreshing lemony spritz and lightly honeyed, appley fruitiness make this screwcapped, unoaked California pinot grigio easy to open and drink everyday or let loose on parties.
Under a Tenner: 2004 Oak-Aged Bordeaux, Graves, £5.49, Marks & Spencer
A typical blend of the white Bordeaux grapes sémillon and sauvignon from the Graves region south of the city. This is an affordable juicy dry white whose smoky, aromatic touch of oak adds a degree of richness to the savoury fruit quality.
Splash Out: 2003 Hewitson Old Garden Mourvèdre, Barossa Valley, £16.95 bottle, £15.25 each a case, Berry Bros & Rudd (0870 900 4300; www.bbr.com)
Châteauneuf-du-Pape fans should love the spice, dark chocolate and fruit power of a Barossa Valley red made from vines planted in the mid-19th century.
