I had a bit of a mishap at a xmas party last week and spilt some red wine on my shirt. I've put it through the wash but it still has some yellow blotches where I spilt wine on it. Is it possible to get this out?

I assume that the spill is fresh.
Immediately get a Bottle of Gin, (Vodka will have to do if you do not have Gin, But Gin definately works better that Vodka for this), and some Clean White bath towels.
Pour the Gin liberally over the spot and then blot (hard) with the towels to soak up the gin & wine, keep doing this until you can not see any traces of "Pink" from the area where the wine spill was - "double check" by stepping on the gin soaked area through two layers of clean dry bath towel. Stopping each time to see if there is any trace of telltale "Pink" that you still need to soak in gin and blot up.
On the off chance that this is NOT a "wet" / fresh spill, then add 1/4 cup TSP, (Tri-Sodium Phosphate), to a fifth or quat of gin, and NO - you don't have to be a chemist or a rocket scientist to get this material - just go to the hardware or paint store. TSP enhaces the ability of liquid to penetrate porous substrates like paper, brick, wood, paint, - etc. It is often used by people who are going to be stripping old wall paper , - where the glue has dried to the wasll so hard that the poster can not be removed with out damaging the poster and the face of the wall).
You are going to repeat the same process as for removing the wine stain when it was "fresh" only this time give the gin & tsp mix about 1 - 2 minutes to work befor you start blotting each time..
In any event, - DO NOT SCRUB the carpet like it was a wash board. if you do, you will likely leeavea noticeable "clean" spot and matted down area behind, and if that's the case, then you might as well call a professional in - and have all the carpets cleaned. Good luck.
I'm Pulling for you.

Salt and white wine are supposed to help red wine stains but I think you need to put that on when the spill happens. White wine is magic though - the red spill just disappears!

Surf - Gets rid of 99 top stains. Believe it or not, white wine will remove red wine stains. Simply pour a little onto the stain.

Good old Stain Devil! from Woolworths...it's brilliant!
If you spill red wine, put Milk on it instantly and it gets rid of the stain much better than white wine or salt. TRUE!!

Usually once the stain has set in it is almost impossible to get out. If the material can handle it, you could blot it with a cotton ball dipped in half bleach and half water but rinse it quickly once you see the stain disappear.

use clorax in the wash cycle, or try the clorax pen, both will take that yellow out. do not put the shirt in the dryer until the stain as come out,because this will set the stain and make it harder to remove.

vanish bar & a prewash setting on washing machine with soda crystals in the 1st section should do trick.
