Running a Casa Rural we feel it is important not to have stains on any of the table cloths etc...we us a whitener in the wash. Oxi-(whatever you feel like) as there are many makes out there. We usually soak wine stains overnight in cold water then wash in machine , with powder and some more Oxi. It always removes redwine and food stains.
Never seen anything like stain devils here.

Dear oh dear,
Not a good sign.

Two possible causes of the problem,........
.1,........Her sense of direction is Not Good.
.2,........The Wine is exceptionally Strong.

Possible solutions,............
.1.........Pipe and plumb her direct into the Barrel.
.2.........Put the bottle away for another day.

As has been said, use 'Kalia', which is the brand name for 'Vanish' over here.
