"To remove a wine stain from a chair, start by blotting up as much of the spill as possible with a clean cloth. Then, mix a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar, and gently dab the stain with this mixture using a clean cloth. Alternatively, you can use a commercial upholstery cleaner following the manufacturer’s instructions. After treating the stain, blot the area with a clean, damp cloth to remove any residue, and allow it to air dry."

"TIPS ON GETTING OUT RED WINE STAINS
The science behind why and how red wine absorbs into fabrics leads us to our first set of pro tips
Tip #1: Do NOT scrub the stain!
Scrubbing will help pull some of the red wine out, but actually negatively impacts the stain as it causes it to spread outward even more. And, if you’re applying too much pressure, you’re actually pushing more red wine down into the fabric. This is especially true if you’re dealing with a red wine stain on the couch or on the carpet.

Tip #2: Don’t wait too long

While it’s tedious to deal with a red wine stain immediately, we wouldn’t recommend waiting until the next day to take care of it. Red wine will sink and settle into those fibers the longer they’re there. Eventually, they’ll “set” and become more difficult to remove. Not forgetting, of course, that red wine is basically a dye waiting to happen.

Tip #3: Do NOT apply heat

Tip #4: Apply a dry material that will “lift” the red wine out

Like any liquid, red wine will move toward anything dry that it comes into contact with. Your best move right after you get a red wine stain is to grab a dry, powdery material and apply it generously on the red wine stain. These include:

Table salt
Baking soda
Sodium percarbonate, a.k.a. a granulated form of hydrogen peroxide
Dry soap powder
Talcum powder, which is used for baby powder
Kitty
Tips #5: Never apply white wine to red wine as a cleaning solutions

Tip #6: Apply boiling water and blot the stain

Tip #7: Milk may do a fabric’s body good

Tip #8: Beat the stain on the head with club soda and white

Tip #9: Grab the oxi cleaner

“Oxi” cleaners are an almost magical way to help remove stains early as well as already

Tip #10: Dishwashing liquid and hydrogen peroxide for those without an oxi cleaner"

"Water and spirit solution - old wine stains can be removed by soaking the fabric in a solution of water and spirit (1: 1). You can also use a solution of spirit and hydrogen peroxide (1:10). 2. Soapy water + ammonia - to get rid of an old stain from a colored fabric, soak it in soapy water and a little ammonia."
