Try vanish just wet the area and rub in worth a try but do a larger area so as to blend in.

im told bi carb works, sprinkle it onto stain let it soak the stain up and remove. hope it works, if not throw red wine over the rest of the rug.

I agree with the White wine. Worked for us once.

Try soda water - works well if the wine has just been spilled; not sure how well it will work after the stain has dried.



Still - cheaper than using the white wine, certainly

Wet the stain and then put salt on it, this really does work
