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.

White 1997 Gracia Chardonnay Reserva Superior Temporal, £5.99, Waitrose (special offer to 2 July)

From Chile's southern Bio-Bio Valley, one of the remotest wine regions on earth, this is an opulently ripe chardonnay whose fermentation in oak casks adds a toffee-apple-like note to the underlying honey and tropical citrus elements. Try drinking this with a chargrilled or cold salmon.

Red 1997 Conde de Valdemar Rioja Crianza, £6.49, Thresher, Wine Rack, Bottoms Up

The family firm of Martinez Bujanda make some of the most consistently interesting reds coming out of Rioja. This classic 1997 crianza, aged in oak casks for a year, is attractively perfumed and imbued with soft, strawberryish fruitiness. Delicious with chorizo.
