- 1). Determine the type of paint that the red wine has stained. A latex flat paint damages easily and will need to be treated more gently than a more durable enamel paint.
- 2). Dampen a sponge with cool or lukewarm water and blot the stained area. Do not rub the area to avoid spreading the stain and damaging the paint.
- 3). Mix a small amount of gentle detergent with several drops of vinegar, and apply the solution to the paint using a sponge or towel. Sponge the solution off of the paint with clean water.
- 4). Spray alcohol onto the stained area or use a clean cloth or towel to blot the stained paint with alcohol. Continue to apply alcohol if the stain is flowing from the paint to the towel.
- 5). Mix equal parts bleach and water and apply the solution to the paint with a sponge or towel. Blot gently until the stain is lifted. Test a small area of the paint before using bleach as it may alter the color of the paint.
