Red Wine Stains

[David Dalglish]

Good news that you saved the kilt.

Tell you what - I'd have been SCARED! Glad you had a wise lady there to save the day. And thanks for sharing a hint I'd never heard of before.

I think prompt action is essential too. I spilled orange juice on my Isle of Skye while trying to drink and drive at the same time. My lady was able to soak it up with napkins immediately, before it soaked into the wool. Seems none the worse for wear.

In my many years as a wine connoisseur I found the way to avoid the spilled wine problem was to dispense with the glasses and suck it directly from the neck of the bottle.

In case you're wondering, using salt to soak up a wine spill doesn't invoke a chemical reaction - it relies on capillary action to wick the offending liquid from the prized possession. I use the same trick to clean up after a puppy that has made a (liquid) mistake on my new carpet.
