No one ever said that enjoying your favorite dessert wines would be free of consequences. Unfortunately, with their dark-colored and sugary nature, these wines can leave unwelcome stains on your clothes, especially on lighter fabrics.

Fortunately, there are some simple ways to remove these pesky desert wine stains from your coat. Here is what you need to know:

Remove the Excess Wine with a Paper Towel.

First, blot stain gently with a paper towel to remove any excess wine residue. Gently press the area of stain to absorb as much as possible. Avoid rubbing stain as this can cause further penetration of wine into the fabric.

Use a Stain Removal Solution to Pre-Treat the Stain.

Using a stain removal detergent, like OxyAction or Vanish, apply a small amount to the area of the stain. Before using the product, make sure you check the tags of your coat for any warnings against using chemical detergents as this could potentially damage material. If it states not to use a chemical detergent, try using a white vinegar solution instead.

Wash the Coat with Cold Water.

Finally, wash the stained area in cold water. This will help to further remove any residue or lingering stain. For best results, use a gentle laundry detergent like Persil. Be sure to not use hot water when washing the stain as this can cause the stain to set.

Repeat the Process if Necessary.

If the stain has not been fully removed, repeat the above steps until the stain is lifted. If the stain persists after several attempts, you may need to take your garment to a professional dry cleaner for further help.
