I bought DP a £90 (Hmm) shirt for his birthday and he's worn it once out drinking and managed to cover it in stains, god knows what it is but have washed it 3 times and no luck.....I wondered if any mumsnetters had any super tips?! My mum has suggested putting it in bleach but it's got a blue logo on it so wasn't sure?

Try soaking it in vanish, then adding a scoop to the wash ( and every other wash after ) also use a bio powder to wash it, I had the same issue with my OH's Hugo Boss shirt, he wore it out for a work do and came home with drink stains all over it ( red wine too Angry ) The stains are hardly noticeable now, it took some time though.

Try rubbing with a bar of soap with cold water. It worked for me on a white dress.

As musictomyears800 has already suggested i would soak the shirt in
vanish gold and then wash the shirt again.

Use some vanish spot remover on the stains and leave it for about 15 minutes then soak it overnight in warm water with washing powder / liquid. Rinse and spot treat it again with the vanish the put it in the wash with a whitener (we used the sachets). Got the curry stains out of DH brand new rugby shirt that he left for 3 days!
