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 Las Moras Bonarda, San Juan

This vibrant red from the hot Tullum Valley in Argentina's high San Juan region, is tinged with a ripe mulberry fruitiness and satisfyingly juicy fresh acidity. £4.99, The Co-operative (co-operative.coop)

Under £10

2007 Joël Delaunay, Sauvignon de Touraine

When sauvignon blanc is this good, you wonder if it's worth bothering with sancerre, much of which doesn't meet the standards set by the Loire's Joël Delaunay. £7.95, Lea & Sandeman, London shops (020-7244 0522)

Splash out

2006 Langhe Nebbiolo, Piemonte, Aldo Vajra

If you can't stretch to barolo, nebbiolo is a good second choice, because it's made from the same Piemontese grape but costs less. Try this fruity red from Vajra. Around £15.99, Ceci Paolo, Ledbury (01531 632976)
