Rock the Keys, and how do I get rid of red wine stains?

Last night my hubby and I went to a hilariously intelligent night club called Rock the Keys.  I truly wasn't thrilled about going.  It is a piano duo.  Uh, what?  I thought it was going to be a corny lounge routine.  We went any how.  I can't wait to go back.  The pianist were not only relevant, but they were comic improvisers that made the night truly entertaining and loads of fun.  It's a tough experience to truly explain without ruining it for those that haven't experienced it.  It's like someone telling you what's going to happen in the movie you're watching, or someone telling you the final score of the game you Tvode.  The three pianist/singers/comics/artists rocked the house.  Props to their skill and wit.

What ended the night for us, was getting my anthropology jacket doused with red wine.  It was a total accident and I received napkins and apologies galore.  So, I couldn't be that upset.  But, I knew we had to jet if there was any hope to remove the stains.  Alas, I haven't been able to remove the stain from my red jacket.  Yup, my jacket is red and the stains still show up.  I am at a loss of what to try next without destroying the red dye of the jacket.  
I quickly got on the internet at home and read up on the matter.  One suggestion was to soak it in milk. It soaked all night, but nothing.  Another suggestion was to rub salt on the stain.  I nearly poured the whole container and scrubbed till my hands hurt.  The stain is still there.  I washed it twice in cold water too.    My hubby bought me Spray 'N Wash, but it says it might cause color fading.  The same warning is on Oxyclean and a spot remover called Carbona.  Help!  My jacket was a mommy present.  If any of you know what I can try, please let me know.

Oh Man! I don't know what to say? Maybe you can take it to a dry cleaner and they would know what to do. At least you had a great night =)
