stain stick on the stain. let it sit on there a few hours, then wash it on its own with bleach and detergent. only in COLD water or the stain will set

hydrogen peroxide, soda, or hard alcohol might work. Hydrogen peroxide might be your best bet.

Try baking soda. Make a paste with a little bit of water and let it sit, then rinse off & wash with bleach in cold water.

Hydrogen peroxide is good for smaller things, but not wine. I think in cases like this you have to go with the harsh stuff.

All of the above, but in the future, keep and extra shirt in the car, change and pour salt on the stain to sit while you’re partying away. Works for carpets too. :)
