Hmm. White wine removal. Boot. Not amused.
Discussion
Long story, but involves the BASE of a wine bottle detracting its self from the bottle whilst in the boot.
According to Waitrose "funny, that isnt the first time"...
Needless to say, it could have been any car, but was of course not the 10 year old RR, but the M6.
Now the removable bit of floor/carpet is sorted, but any suggestions for the best way to remove the smell of South African White wine from the boot would be appreciated.....
Luckily there is no through load so it is limited to the boot!

Steam cleaning is generally effective with wine stains and smell.
Leaving Silica Gel crystals in the car after steam cleaning will absorb any remaining moisture and assist in reducing the smell.
Unlike the smell of Milk which is far more difficult to remove I think this system will eradicate the smell. Repeat if initial trial unsuccessful.
You could seek damages from the supplier PARTICULARLY if this is a known problem ie an inherent fault in batches of bottles, but this could be very vexatious.

There seems to be some sort of admission of guilt already by way of a refund!
All purpose cleaner and a wet vac - http://www.vax.co.uk/shop/product/utility-cleaners...
Might be an old wives tale but I think onions soak up smells once it's been cleaned.

RugDoctor carpet cleaner is what i would recomend. We spiltover a glass of coke on a beige carpet, and it all came out, it has also remvoed tomato juice from a tin of tomatoes which was also dropped. it says to dilute, but i use it neat and have never had a problem, a brilliant product.
I had 25 litres of KTC Vegetable oil sieve its way through my boot carpet and reside in my spare wheel well 
Must have been there for at least 2 weeks before I noticed LOL!
...I was pissed off to say the least (but only because it was gritty which meant I couldnt use it for fuel!!!!). Luckily enough it was in my old 2.2DT Laguna which used to love running on the stuff and which was purpose bought for Veg! LOL!
On the up side, when the rest of the car has rusted away the boot floor will be mint for years to come!
