    White wine!
    Am not kidding! you can remove red wine stain with a dry white wine.
    now, if the stain is old, it may not work very well but it will help. you can then finish with other cleaner.

    Vinegar and water solution 50/50. Pat/blot stain don’t rub back and forth.

    These are great sites to learn how to do anything. I heard that Resolve carpet cleaner can work too.

    Good luck!

    I have an upright steam cleaner that took care of a red wine stain just great. If you don’t have a steam cleaner, either rent one or hire a pro. Red wine is difficult but not impossible.

    Get some borax powder from a hardware store or supermarket. Make up a solution of about half a glass of hot water to dissolve about a level tablespoon of the borax and add a tablespoon of white vinegar. Stir it and pour some of it onto your winestain. Not too much. You don’t want the liquid to soak through to the underlay. Sprinkle some more borax onto it. Not too much…Wait a minute or two ( it’s not really important how long, but not too long!, then get a dry old cotton rag/towel and press it with your thunb, perhaps, onto the moist area of carpet. Hold the cloth for a few seconds, then use a new part of the cloth and press again. You should see a lot of the dark color is now on your rag. Repeat the process until the carpet is clean. Next, if you want to, put some water on the spot and press again to remove any residue of borax and vinegar. I don’t know how the salt will have effected the process but this method normally works fine.
