Does anyone know how to remove a black sambuca stain?

I'm off on my jollies tomorrow and i've just taken a t-shirt out of the wash to find it has a black sambuca stain on the front of it! Nipped to the supermarket and bought some Vanish stainremover which has now made the stain red. :eek:

Does anyone know of anyway of removing the stain?:confused::D

    Not sure if you can - black sambuca includes elderberries, and they were used to dye fabric. You could perhaps try a laundry bleach, or maybe Stardrops?

    Hmm... so maybe you now need a stain devil that removes fruit juice?

    Dylon do one, though I'm not sure which shops you might find it in.
