If you serve red wine, and people drink it, it is just a matter of time until there is an accident. We have been believers in the Wine Away product since we saw it in action at a wedding.

Picture this…the wedding is at a spectacular vineyard in southern California. The ceremony goes off without a hitch. The bridal party heads off for pictures as the guests  start enjoying the fruits of the vine. Just as the first picture is taken, the brother of the bride spills a whole  glass of Cabernet Sauvignon down the front of the bride’s beautiful white dress. We are talking major stain. To this day, I don’t know how she did it, but somehow the bride kept her cool. Almost instantly, the wedding planner arrived with a bottle of Wine Away and whisked the bride off to address the issue. Within minutes the bride returned with the wine stain gone. It was magic. I would like to say that was the only crisis du jour, but a short while later, the bride was enjoying a special dance with her grandfather that ended abruptly when Gramp’s pants fell down. Yes, the pants fell to his ankles in front of a hundred guests. Again, the bride smiled on.

I would like to say that was our only experience with red wine spilling, but there is my buddy Joe. Twice he spilled wine on our living room carpet. The running joke became that we needed to seat Joe on a drop cloth. It was all a lot of fun until Karma struck. After making fun of my buddy Joe with a case of the “dropsy’s”, sure enough I knocked over a glass at another friends house. Unfortunately, those incidents were before we knew about Wine Away. I can tell you that from those experiences that using Club Soda to get out a wine stain does not work.

My buddy Joe and the “Usual Suspects”

We have taken to giving bottles of Wine Away to friends and family at Christmas. I strongly recommend having an inventory of this miracle product be part of your wine group planning.
