Stretch the stained area over a large bowl and tip boiling water from your kettle gently over it so the water seeps through the fabric to the bowl.
I guarantee this will work - i have proved it many, many times - and i expect "best answer"!!
Good luck!!

Blot the stain immediately with paper towels.
2. Sponge the stain with cool water or sprinkle it with white wine, if readily available.
3. Sprinkle generous amounts of table salt directly onto the stain.
4. Review the washing instructions on the label of the fabric. Heed any special care instructions.
5. If the fabric is machine-washable, immerse the garment in cold water and gently rub the stain out. Apply a laundry pretreatment such as a stain remover, wash in cool water and air dry.
6. If washing by hand, rub the table salt into the stain. Then pour boiling water onto it from a height of 12 to 36 inches if the stain persists and if the fabric can tolerate high heat.
7. Sponge with a spotting mixture of water and two to three drops of vinegar until no color is lifted from the stain.
8. Rinse with cool water.
9. Brush the spot with a dry towel from the center of the stain out, using light strokes and blending wet into dry.
Tips:
Always use white paper towels, as colored towels may stain.
Dilute the spotting mixture to one part vinegar per three parts water for cotton and linen. If the fabric is acetate, the mixture should be one part digestant, one part water.
Before applying alcohol, pretest the fabric for adverse reactions by applying a small amount of the spotter to an inconspicuous portion of the fabric.
Warnings:
Avoid scrubbing or rubbing the stain excessively. This can cause the stain to further penetrate the fabric.

Try OxyClean, it works really well on wine stains. Dampen the stain, then place the actual granules on the stain and rub them in a bit with a sponge.
