I'm hoping someone can help me.

I have a favorite celery green linen-blend jacket that I put away for the winter last year. Well, I looked at it just now and there is a red wine stain on one side, by the pocket. I know just when it happened, too, and there's no hope that it is fresh.

I promise I've kicked myself about thirty times. Now does anyone know how to get this stain out? I don't want to touch it until I check for ideas. The easy thing would be to unpick the patch pocket, but unfortunately the idiot who caused this stain (a drunken business associate at a disastrous business supper that's a funny story in itself) achieved maximum coverage.

Hope someone can help me.

Hey, if it works, I'll post the business supper story.

Thanks!
