Best way to remove sloe gin stains from loadspace carpet?

Don’t all laugh at once......

Out shooting earlier this week and at elevenses it was decided that the best ‘bar’ was the fatty’s tailgate. So I pressed the button and an opened bottle and glasses were left there for folk to help themselves. All well and good, but after a few minutes the tailgate decided to close itself! So the open bottle tipped and spilt. Now most of the spill was contained on the bootliner, but a small amount dripped into the corner. Problem is my car has oatmeal coloured carpet and whilst a small stain, I see it each time I open the tailgate and it annoys me...

So fellow enthusiasts, how would you remove it?

Any advice gratefully received!

Cheers.....

Andy

Gesture tailgate - gundogs, spaniels, cockers and labs milling under the tailgate - slowgasms and bullshot make a sticky mess - been there seen it done it - baby wipes were my friend !!!!! 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17

Thanks Greg. You’ll never guess what Mrs S gave away a couple of months ago “because we never use it”.......

Any detailer with a wet vac then Andy.

He could sort anything.

Your topic title also makes it into my top 5 on fluffier.com

Best to turn off keyless entry as it disables gesture tailgate and prevents spaniels for spilling the Slogasms

Replace the stained carpet, you know it is the only solution.
Can't believe I replied to this.

Apply Sloe Gin to the entire carpet in the boot area and claim it's an enhancement ?

You can probably buy the carpet pieces individually

There's a full set on eBay but the wrong colour....
