Food & Drink: Bargains and bin ends
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.THE NEW year is traditionally the time when wine merchants do their best to recoup some of the ground lost to the supermarkets and high street chains over Christmas by tempting us with bargain basement offers.
Among those with wine sales starting this month are the Hungerford Wine Company, 24 High Street, Hungerford, Berkshire (0488 681201), with special offers available from today, and Lay & Wheeler, The Wine Shop, 6 Culver Street West, Colchester, Essex CO1 1JA (0206 764446), whose sale starts on Monday.
