Worst-Case Wednesday: How to Survive a Wine Spill Emergency

Posted by Christina Schillaci

You're on that important date, right? You wanna impress, but in the middle of discussing Emily Brontë, you spill red wine. All. Over. Yourself. The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Dating and Sex shows you how to survive a fashion emergency.

Wine Stain

For white wine, wet a cloth napkin with cold water and dab the stain. Avoid hot water, which will set the stain.
For red wine, soak a cloth napkin with white wine and apply to the stain area. Then dab the stain with cool water.
Rub toothpaste--the white, pasty kind only--onto the stain to make it easier to clean later.
If you spilled the wine on your date, apologize, offer to pay the dry cleaning bill, and immediately pour or order another glass of wine.
