I am a student from Salzburg / Austria and work for an artist who
paints with red wine. These so called "Red Wine Paintings" now start
to change their appearance and become greenish and go moldy in a
way. I am writing to you because I hope that you as experts on
conservation-topics may know a chemical fluid or something like this
that prevents the paintings from altering.

They are drawn on handmade deckle-edged paper and the colour of the
red wine must not be attacked by the conservation fluid.
