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.

Champagne Billecart-Salmon Rose
Sometimes, the only drink required is a really top quality ‘pink’ oozing refinement and sophistication. Step forward the Billecart-Salmon, from one of Champagnes most prestigious houses: bone dry but plenty of fruit flavours, some hints of nuts and toasted brioche. A seductive indulgence. Both listed suppliers can deliver by Tuesday.

Balfour 1503 Oast House Rosé
The romantic and typically English Hush Heath estate in Kent, which makes the wonderful Balfour Brut rose sparkling has developed this much less expensive range for M&S, but which still displays the estate’s typically elegant characteristics of glorious hedgerow aromas and balanced fruit flavours, underpinned with vibrant, fresh acidity. Gorgeous with fishy canapés or smoked salmon.

Cloudy Bay Pelorus Rose NV
The Kiwi makers of one of the world’s finest Sauvignon Blancs are now part owned by Champagne house Veuve Clicquot and so there is a coupling of Old World expertise with New World exhuberance in this Pinot Noir dominated blend, with very forward cherry-like fruit flavours and some spicier notes. Recommended for sushi and sashimi, but particularly good with grilled prawns or langoustines.
