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 Morrisons The Best Lussac Saint Emilion

There's an appealing touch of spicy oak on the nose of this well-made, Merlot-based claret from JF Carille in Bordeaux, with an attractive concentration of plum and cherry, spice-tinged fruit. £9.99, Morrisons

Splash out

2009 Rully 1er Cru La Pucelle

This is excellent white Burgundy from the virgin soils of the Côte Chalonnaise, a full-bodied chardonnay whose opulent fruit concentration finishes with a nutty flourish in a fresh, bone-dry framework of fruit. £15.99, M&S
