Hiya - you've gotten some good answers above about water temperature, but I thought that I'd add a tip about OxyClean. I'm a winemaker by trade, and I have had many many clothes stained with red wine. OxyClean almost always gets the stains. For the worst stains (or the largest), I'll put the item of clothing in the washing machine with a couple scoops of OxyClean and let it fill, then agitate for a few minutes (to mix the OxyClean in). I then stop the machine and let the clothes sit in the OxyClean-y water for a couple hours (or overnight). The next day I just turn the washing machine back on and let the cycle finish. I sometimes have to repeat that process once more, but that gets rid of nearly all my wine stains. Good luck!

Cold , But before you do wash it , try this , As we know white wine removes red wine stains . So first pour white wine over the stain , then soak in cold water. Once the stain comes out , hang outside in the sun , The sun will bleach out any remaining stains the natural way

COLD!!! hot sets the stain. Use a pre treat like spray and wash to soak the stain for 15 minutes prior to washing, and wash the stain as soon after getting the stain as you can. If it's on a white shirt, same as above but use bleach too.

Cold water for sure, and try using Clorox Bleach for colors. Even if the shirt is white use the one for colors, just pour some right on the stain and rub it together for a bit then wash the shirt in a regular wash cycle.

cold. Don't set the stain in permanent.
