If someone spilled red wine on your light colored carpet or upholstery, don't worry, it's not the end of the world. If you act fast you can remedy the problem yourself. Here is the first of several solutions to resolve your red wine spill.
First, as with any spill, blot up as much of the liquid as you can. Pour white wine on a red wine spill. The white wine will dissipate the red wine. Again blot up as much as you can. If you can still see the stain generously sprinkle with salt, while the salt is drying it should lift out the remaining red wine. If you don't get the stain out yourself do not hesitate to contact a professional carpet cleaner.

If you do not have white wine on hand, first and always blot up as much of the spill as you can. Then spray the area with hydrogen peroxide, follow that with a generous sprinkling of baking soda. Let it dry. As it is drying the peroxide should neutralize the red wine and the baking soda will absorb the liquid as it dries.
