9 June 2016 8.29 am We now have our full complement of winners. Thank you. The second correct answer (The Oxford Companion to Wine, of course) was sent in by William Reidie. We hope you both enjoy the performance as much as Richard did. 

9 June 2016 8 am We are republishing this article as part of our Throwback Thursday series since so far we have found only one winner, Jo Copsey, and are still looking for another winner of a pair of top-price tickets to this London production. 

7 June 2016 As you can read here, Richard very much enjoyed the new production of the play Sideways currently running in London. In the photo, left to right, are Daniel Weyman as Miles, Simon Harrison as Jack, Beth Cordingly as Terra and Ella Piercy as Maya. 

The producers are giving away two pairs of £39.50 tickets to see Sideways: The Play at St James Theatre in Victoria, valid for weekday performances until  the end of the run on 7 July. You can name your date, although of course the offer is subject to availability. 

These two prizes, worth £79 per pair, will go to the first two people who email us with the correct answer to this question:

In Rex Pickett's original book Sideways, which wine book did Miles pack in his luggage in preparation for his wine trip with Jack?

The names of the winners will be published in this article once they are identified.

Terms and conditions: Valid on Monday-Friday performances until 7 July. Winners are responsible for their own travel to and from the St James Theatre. All prize elements are subject to availability and are non-transferable. No cash alternative is available. The producers of Sideways: The Play cannot guarantee the appearance of any particular artist, which is always subject to illness and holidays.
