Step 1: Blot the Stain

The first step is to quickly grab a paper towel or cloth and gently blot the stained area. This will help absorb the excess white wine.

Step 2: Dab with Detergent

Using a small bit of detergent, begin to dab the stained area with a damp cloth. Do not scrub too harshly or else the delicate fabric may tear.

Step 3: Warm Water Rinse

Run warm water over the stained area to rinse away any remaining detergent or wine residue. Blot with a cloth to dry.

Step 4: Soak in Vinegar Solution

Mix one part vinegar and two parts water in a bowl, and let the stained fabric soak for about 10 minutes. Then, rinse the fabric with cold water and blot dry.

Step 5: Launder in Cold Water

You can either hand wash the stained area or machine wash on a cold setting. Make sure to turn the fabric inside out before laundering.
