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.

Under £5

2008 South African Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz

One of the best-value wines there is, this joyfully juicy mulberry and cherry-fruity Cape blend from the Swartland winery is topped off with a light touch of tannin. £4.09, Tesco.

Under £10

2007 Domaine du Petit Chêne Moulin-à-Vent

This beaujolais is transformed from the humdrum into a juicy red full of strawberry and cherry fruitiness with a touch of oak to add rounded texture and backbone. Worth squirrelling away a few bottles. £9.99, M&S.

Splash out

2006 Louis Jadot Meursault

A classic white burgundy, superbly rich in apple and pear-like flavours, with the complexity of subtly integrated oak and deliciously succulent balancing acidity. £19.99, Sainsbury's, to 13 April.
