    salt is the only one that has a chance, and only if the stain is still wet. If the stain has dried none of them will take it out.
    there is however an old wives tale about white wine taking out red wine stains. In reality however it does not work.

    It’s kind of hard to say. At first I would say OJ but than again the acidic levels might actually help break apart the red wine stain and might help lift it some.

    My vote is for White-Wine. I can’t imagine that doing much other than making the smell worse than the stain.

    Orange juice. While it is slightly acidic, the acid is not sufficient to break down the dye, in this case red wine.
    Salt will oxidize the stain and help lift it.
    Since white wine is a similar alcohol, the dye will be lifted into the medium.

    Definitely OJ

    (d) orange juice. -I’ve used salt & club soda, so I know those both work. I’m sure the white wine will neutralize the pigment of the red wine & make it easier to remove. OJ would just make a new mess!
