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

2009 Asda Australian Shiraz

From the Murray Darling region, this Aussie shiraz is succulently juicy, with a blackberry fruitiness and a modicum of spicy oak making an unfussy, moreish barbecue red – weather permitting. £4.28, Asda

Under £10

2009 Zalze Shiraz-Mourvedre-Viognier, South Africa

This blend of Rhône grapes from the Cape's Johan Joubert has wild berry-fruit characters, with the grip and brambly flavour to cope with a Cape-style braai. £5.19, down from £6.49, until 13 July, Waitrose

Splash out

2009 Blind River Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough

A stylish Awatere Valley wine with intense nettle and herbal aromas and passionfruit and gooseberry aplenty, this is a dry, piercing Kiwi white with a grapefruit zest. £13.99, case price £11.19, Oddbins
