If the stain has already dried, try rubbing a bit of glycerine on the stained area to make the juice mark easier to remove.

How to Get Grape Juice Out of Carpet and Upholstery
Getting a bit of grape or another kind of fruit juice stain on your furnishings is not the end of the world. Just act fast and follow the below steps and your carpet and upholstery will be fruit juice–free in no time.
Step 1. Remove excess: Lift away as much of the fruity liquid as possible using the edge of a spoon or a dull knife. Make sure not to wipe it, as that will only push the stain molecules deeper into the fabric of your carpet or upholstery, making it that much harder to remove.
Step 2. Prepare a solution: Mix one tablespoon of Tide liquid laundry detergent in two cups of hot water. Dip a sponge or a clean white cloth in the solution, and gently blot the stain, working from the outside edge toward the center.
Step 3. Rinse: Dip another cleaning cloth in cold water and remove any possible detergent residue from the stained area, preventing the soapy solution from attracting even more dirt particles.
Step 4. Blot dry: Grab a few sheets of paper towels and soak up the moisture from your carpet and upholstery, then allow the fabric to dry.
Repeat until the stain is completely gone. In case you’ve spilled your breakfast juice on a vintage furnishing, your best bet is to call a professional cleaner.
