Arghhhhh, red wine on stone patio

We've had a bottle of red wine, along with some other stuff, sat outside on our patio since a recent party (Fridge was full!). Looked out of the patio doors this morning and the bottle has smashed and we now have a red stain all over the patio. :eek: :eek:

It's a stone patio, am I going to have to get new slabs or does anyone have any ideas on how to lift it?? I'm considering coating the slabs in bleach, but will this cause its own problems? :confused:

    Have you tried a scrubbing brush with some soapy water?

    I've not tried anything yet, Literally saw it this morning then rushed off to work

    I suspect though that the stone will absorb the stain?

    It'll wear off eventually, try some watered down bleach on it.
