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.A glass of something pink and sparkling is the perfect celebratory drink for summer…
From France
Champagne Pierre Vaudon Brut Rosé NV
One of the great champagne bargains from a little-known name respected by insiders and made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. Delicate, balanced, refreshing, packed with summery fruit flavours. Ideal with canapés or fine shellfish. £29.95, hhandc.co.uk
From England
Furleigh Estate Rosé
An award-winning sparkler from deepest Dorset, made using the méthode champenoise and French equipment in a new partly EU-funded venture. The result: elegant, gently sparkling, the English countryside in a glass. £26.99, palmerswinestore.com; £28.50, winepantry.co.uk
From Chile
Torres Santa Digna Estelado Rosé
If you find most cava or prosecco a bit too sweet, this is a lovely fun alternative from Chile. Made with the méthode champenoise again, from Chile's oldest grape variety, Pais, this is bone-dry, spiked with red-fruit flavours with a touch of citrus. A great buy for parties. £8.99, henningswine.co.uk; £11.03, thedrinkshop.com (minimum purchase six bottles)
