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 £6

2010 Fiano Sannio DOC

Fiano is one of the new-wave Neapolitan grapes restoring the good name of Italian white wines – in this instance for its crisp appley and pear fruitiness and its clean, dry aftertaste. £5.99, down from £7.99, until 4 September, Marks & Spencer

Under £10

2009 Baron de Ley Graciano

This finely-balanced, modern Rioja is made from pure graciano, which brings rich, dark cherry and mulberry fruit characters, whose smoothness of texture is tempered by a trenchant blade of acidity. £8.99, Tesco

Splash out

Pol Roger Réserve NV Brut Champagne

From one of the greats, this classic fizz, with its stylish toasty aromas and intense baked apple mousse that explode on the tongue, is too good to miss at this price. £28, down from £33, until Monday week, Majestic
