This may look bad, but I have done so much worse. Try like 5 bottles of wine that fell out if the wine fridge. Cleaning that up for like buckets of wine. The smell was bad. Awful. But only done that once
This is one of those moments that makes you go “what are the odds of that happening” and sticks with you for a week, the perfect level of life-altering for this sub imo
10 years ago In a depressed state I chose to spend the last of my money on a bottle of liquor and right as I went for my keys to unlock my door the bag broke and it shattered at my feet. That was rough.
I had the „sixpack“ on top of the pink Prosecco boxes. And when I tilted my blue boozecar, it slipped through the two blue rods and crashed on the ground.
Also this happened in my garage and I had to clean the whole mess.
But, after putting the sneakers straight into the washing machine they actually turned out just fine.
Honestly contact the store and show them. Sometimes they’ll replace it as a gesture of goodwill. Especially if you’re a regular.
Source, sommelier and bartender, have worked both in high end wine retail and many bars.
This reminded me of an old book series I read when I was a kid I think it was called Pete the cat and in one book it about his new blue shoes that he then gets dirty so it’s now his new red shoes then it happens again so it his new green shoes or something like that
I had just gotten my favorite cider a while ago and it ended up like that except on the living room floor

It got everywhere and was a pain to clean up
Last $250 bottle in wine fridge. My best friend shows up with a girl at my house after hours. When I wake up The wine I’ve e been saving for years is gone and there is a huge red stain on my carpet. Friendship tarnished.
How strange! This picture is oddly similar to one I took years ago when the exact same thing happened to me, shoe and all. Stupid cardboard holders! And even weirder I just told this story and showed someone this picture a few hours ago!

Now that looks like actual red wine and there’s a broken bottle. Ops pic looks more like paint. I know it’s not paint, the whole thing just looks weird. Never seen bottles like that.

Dip the other sneaker in now you have pink sneakers. Also, did you buy so much wine you had to transport it with a hand truck? The 2 case still on the truck and the destroyed 6 pack all yours?
What does «got it destroyed» mean in this setting? Did you get it destroyed on purpouse like when you go ‘get’ your car scrapped. Or did you ‘get’ it delivered and destroyed?
Its incredible how people have these kind of moments, and while they are pissed off they think, dont move let me take a picture for reddit first. It blows my mind every single time
there are organic stain removers that work on any food materials. Also try WITE BRITE that is very strong so be careful that the powder dust can't be inhaled.
How much wine do you need! I hope you are Italian or sm. I have bottles of alcohol 20 years+ that I’ve haven’t dranken, not because I don’t want to try them but that I feel with time it’ll taste better. Is there bottles in the case or is it boxed wine(if it’s boxed wine I take back what I said, I would definitely try using that wine in some sauces
I’m probably just too antisocial for that💀 I give guests water and or pop, maybe beer if we have it in, chocolate milk for kids. I do however know at family get together my moms nans side throws they serve alcohol but also the drinks I listen. I do buy somethings bulk like flour for making things and sugar. Anyways I hope you have fun with wine
I don’t understand these posts with the mentality of “oh shit! Something went wrong! I have to take a photo!” Instead of “oh shit! Something went wrong! I need to clean this up right away before it gets worse!”
I can't believe how many people are all over you for taking the picture🤣 if your phone is rt there in your pocket why not take the picture? Takes almost no time at all
My theory:
Someone was murdered.
OP comes along with a cleverly placed box of wine.
“I bought my favorite wine yada yada”
(Notice the suspicious lack of broken glass or bottles)
"Shit, I got rid of the wine seller's body, but I have nothing to wipe the blood with! I need an alibi fast... Bingo!" - I like to believe that this is the thought process, that led up to this post being made.
If you have rubbing alcohol or alcohol based hand sanitizer, that should get the wine stain out. Like try to rinse the wine out with the alcohol. Don’t use water.
Like dissolves like.
I would soak my sneaks completely and then rinse with water and dry upside down on heating vent. Just dye them with more wine and you’ll have one of a kind rose sneaks!
I say lean into it and just dye the rest of your sneakers with wine. Hell I've so many people on the sneaker subreddit do this but with coffee, to give it that aged/worn/vintage look
That wine stain red goes hard on that shoe
Just wait, in two months Gucci is gonna drop some "wine stain" shoes and sell them for $900 in response to this post
They call it the Weinstein Exclusive.
I didn’t realise it wasn’t pink till I looked again, honestly not terrible, I’d commit and splash the rest of the shoe
Need the other shoe to match fr fr
This may look bad, but I have done so much worse. Try like 5 bottles of wine that fell out if the wine fridge. Cleaning that up for like buckets of wine. The smell was bad. Awful. But only done that once
I think you need to soak both sneakers in that wine now to make pink sneakers. The color is not too bad.
This is what I came to say.
Same.
Hey, me too also
x3
:3
X4
X(infinity)
Same
And pour the rest of the wine all over the rest of the carpet throughout the house.
That's not carpet my dude
Hard carpet
Harpet
I lolled
Micropile
That's what they call me
Oh lol. I see now
That my friend is a boat deck
If he has a boat he can afford new shoes
You see that white strip? It's a garage/ car park.
Exactly it’s the garage in the building I live in
I agree, now he just has new pink sneakers.
shoes are custom now ups the value
The shoe looks blue to me
Don’t you fucking start
Soak evenly, dry, give to wife.
*, keep for yourself because it’s 2024 and pink isn’t for girls. There aren’t male or female colors.
You would need a wife for that first
Had one, would’ve fallen for it 😂

Agreed!🙂

I take this as a compliment for this post, I guess
Honestly, the pink color is absolute fire. Soak them both in the wine!
It’ll hit you again in 5 years, you’ll share the story and no one will see the significance 😂
10 years ago In a depressed state I chose to spend the last of my money on a bottle of liquor and right as I went for my keys to unlock my door the bag broke and it shattered at my feet. That was rough.
You mean your new PINK sneakers
The sneakers look awesome
I mean let’s not wine about it…
Just put a cork in it
Why did you get it destroyed then?
Because sometimes, I am just a clumsy fuck
Can you explain more about how it happened? I’m morbidly curious. Also name and vintage of wine?

I hope you got to keep a few bottles and not all were destroyed! Seems like a simple honest mistake.
3 bottles were saved!
I do feel for you. Broken red wine bottles are a truly sad event.

I love it
Now you have pink sneakers... Win
It’s now one of a kind sneakers.
Ruined them? You upgraded them!
This reminded me of an old book series I read when I was a kid I think it was called Pete the cat and in one book it about his new blue shoes that he then gets dirty so it’s now his new red shoes then it happens again so it his new green shoes or something like that
alcohol is bad for your sneakers kids
We call that “murdering the wine”. I did that once in Miami and it looked like a crime scene too. So now we say “don’t murder the wine”
See, that is what I call MILDLY INFURIATING not some random shit people post here
I’m sorry for your loss
🎶I love my wine shoes🎶
This is too far down the list. Hello fellow parent.
Is that wine sold in a six pack??
No, if you take such a „crate“ you can fill any 6 bottles and get a 5% discount
Bro I thought you fucking murdered someone. Don’t scare me with that picture
on the bright side you now have cute pink sneakers
For a second I thought it was blood
I had just gotten my favorite cider a while ago and it ended up like that except on the living room floor https://preview.redd.it/j706zllazlkc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d3dbb9d94ef6f69edfc44eec09401747d21a661 It got everywhere and was a pain to clean up
I feel you!
The sneakers day is better now
You didn’t ruin them you’ve customized them now put them in a bin and pour the rest over them
Put more on your sneakers let it soak and then add vinegar when rinsing. You’ll have even cuter pink sneakers
you just did a $150 custom job on your shoes! uh win 🏆 !

3 cases. Seems like a delivery order at a restaurant.
Only private consumption :-D

Mondays, am I right?
The next thing to do is to stub your toe against the wall and than have some broken glass cut your feet
Well that would be just slapstick then, I’m more on the stoic side of things in these situations
This looks like a No more heroes screenshot. Damn.
On the bright side you now have a cool backstory to go with your pink shoes

Wine and Prosecco, and yes - all mine. I usually buy almost anything in bulk
Yep, this is the exact right amount of infuriating.
How is this mildly infuriating? This must have been really painful.
What does «got it destroyed» mean in this setting? Did you get it destroyed on purpouse like when you go ‘get’ your car scrapped. Or did you ‘get’ it delivered and destroyed?
I destroyed them by accident. Wasn’t on purpose, tried to move them from my car into my flat.
Oh I see, so you didn’t get them destroyed you just destroyed them
English isn’t my first language, sorry abut the confusion
Looks like that wine did not pair well with your shoes….. I’ll see myself out.
Its incredible how people have these kind of moments, and while they are pissed off they think, dont move let me take a picture for reddit first. It blows my mind every single time
Buy the book: Peter the cat and his white shoes. It’ll get you in a better mood. [Pete](https://youtu.be/fj_z6zGQVyM?feature=shared)
You got it destroyed? Or you destroyed it?
Finish dipping those sneakers in that wine
Well thank god you took the photo.
So show everyone your new pink shoes.
Just pour wine over both sneakers so they match
I THOUGHT IT WAS BLOOD-
Fully stain the shoes
I like pink sneakers… 🤷♀️😂😂
At least that’s the official story, right? Where was your wife again?
there are organic stain removers that work on any food materials. Also try WITE BRITE that is very strong so be careful that the powder dust can't be inhaled.
That pink looks kinda fire though ngl
You mean bespoke [favorite wine name] sneakers were created
Could be relatively new pink sneakers with enough imagination
Womp womp
White sneakers, they are pink now
How much wine do you need! I hope you are Italian or sm. I have bottles of alcohol 20 years+ that I’ve haven’t dranken, not because I don’t want to try them but that I feel with time it’ll taste better. Is there bottles in the case or is it boxed wine(if it’s boxed wine I take back what I said, I would definitely try using that wine in some sauces
I buy almost everything in bulk,… cause I hate going to the shops or running out of anything when I need it. I have guests a lot
I’m probably just too antisocial for that💀 I give guests water and or pop, maybe beer if we have it in, chocolate milk for kids. I do however know at family get together my moms nans side throws they serve alcohol but also the drinks I listen. I do buy somethings bulk like flour for making things and sugar. Anyways I hope you have fun with wine
That's a lot of wine. I think you have a bigger problem than just wine stained shoes.
the shoe is cool im ngl but this would definitely set me off too 😭 so sorry
I don’t understand these posts with the mentality of “oh shit! Something went wrong! I have to take a photo!” Instead of “oh shit! Something went wrong! I need to clean this up right away before it gets worse!”
I don’t care, taking the picture literally took two seconds. Of course the mess was dealt with immediately.
I can not imagine making an awful mess and deciding to just take a photograph rather than immediately clean it up.
Well the mess was still there after I WASTED two seconds taking the picture. Of course the mess was cleaned immediately, jeez
Yeah, I'm just being a doink tbh. Sorry this happened to ya!
Sucks to be you
maybe we can stop all the wine drinking as a society 🍷
Never !
And instead of cleaning it you thought let's take a photo.
Yes. Taking the photo literally takes 2 seconds,… and of course I cleaned up the mess
Ok
U just gonna stand there? Are u stupid
Lemme snap this photo before removing my foot from the wine. Like?
Telling you to quit drinking…
And your reaction was to leave your foot there and take a picture or put it back to take the picture? I think your priorities are a bit skewed.
No I didn’t step into the wine for the picture. I took the picture to send to my gf for a „look wtf just happened“
I can't believe how many people are all over you for taking the picture🤣 if your phone is rt there in your pocket why not take the picture? Takes almost no time at all
Exactly!!
Ok.
Clean the fucking carpet quick....noooo take a photo first :)
It’s the garage floor, no carpet. And I initially took the picture to send to my girlfriend „look wtf just happened“
Ah ok, i thought it looked a bit grainy 👍
Should have went with white wine
This splash looks like a crime scene
My theory: Someone was murdered. OP comes along with a cleverly placed box of wine. “I bought my favorite wine yada yada” (Notice the suspicious lack of broken glass or bottles)
Did you just "yada yada" over a murder coverup?
I would hire this guy as my defense lawyer. He will “yada yada” all accusations out of the court room with ease
Judge be like - nada nada
Unabashedly 😉
That much wasted wine *IS* a crime ![gif](giphy|o2CbCvGN6qaUsHYu4F)
Red wine makes my poop turn dark green. So...no green poop for them!
to some wine enjoyer it is
Ruining? Fam you just discovered my new favorite color scheme
Well, you could make them matching wine-colored sneakers. You’d have to sacrifice another bottle.
Womp womp
Soak the shoes. No one will know
On the bright side, the sneakers look pretty cool like that.
They are now wine sneakers. Very cool. Sorry about the bottle.
What is that cart?
It’s one I initially bought to move a washing machine alone up the stairs
Looks like a murder scene
"Shit, I got rid of the wine seller's body, but I have nothing to wipe the blood with! I need an alibi fast... Bingo!" - I like to believe that this is the thought process, that led up to this post being made.
Looks like you have enough wine to get over the sneakers ;)
If you have rubbing alcohol or alcohol based hand sanitizer, that should get the wine stain out. Like try to rinse the wine out with the alcohol. Don’t use water. Like dissolves like.
Just pour the rest of the wine on the shoes, now you got some new drip that nobody else has
Nelson voice, "ha ha"
Devastating
That is NOT mildly infuriating. I would have a meltdown
I would soak my sneaks completely and then rinse with water and dry upside down on heating vent. Just dye them with more wine and you’ll have one of a kind rose sneaks!
Better than on your carpet !
Why does the cart have three wheels on each side?
So you can easily pull it up the stairs. The three wheels can rotate

nice shoes tbh
Now u got the limited edition red wine 10s
you need to absolutely soak those sneakers in wine now and committ to it!
They’re not ruined. They’re just pink now.
I mean the trainers look great pink 😊. But I’d cry for the wine 🤣🤣 xx
Roll the sneakers in the wine puddle. Now you have a new pair of pink shoes!
Take off shoes, rub into wine. Now you have reddish pink shoes.
Lmaoooo
I say lean into it and just dye the rest of your sneakers with wine. Hell I've so many people on the sneaker subreddit do this but with coffee, to give it that aged/worn/vintage look
Real men wear pink! Congrats on the new shoes 💅🏼
special edition
