When you spill white wine on clothing, goal is to act fast to remove the stain before it sets in. The best way to do this is to blot the area with a clean cloth or paper towel, then rinse with cold water. Do not rub the fabric together, as that can cause the stain to spread.

Removing White Wine Stains with Household Cleaners

If the stain still remains after rinsing with cold water, there are a few household items you can try to help break down the stain. One method is to combine equal parts vinegar and water, then saturate the stain and press with a clean cloth. You can also add a tiny drop of dish soap to the vinegar and water concoction for extra cleaning power, but be sure to use a gentle detergent as some dish soaps may damage the fabric.

Another option is to spray the stain with hairspray, then work a bit of laundry detergent into the stain with a cloth. Rinse out the detergent with cold water, and repeat the process until stain has been removed.

Removing White Wine Stains with Professional Cleaners

If your t-shirt still has a white wine stain after trying the above methods, you can also try a professional cleaner specifically designed for removing greasy or oily stains. Many of these cleaners contain enzymes that break down the stain molecules, making it easier to remove. Be sure to follow the instructions on the package carefully, and test on a small, unseen area first to ensure the product won't have any adverse reactions with the fabric.

Finally, if all else fails, try taking your t-shirt to a professional dry cleaner. They’ll have the expertise and specialized tools to tackle tough white wine stains.
