The pouch case for this lens is a green leather (I think) one. How would I get a smear of label residue off the base? Isopropyl Alcohol?

Ask your wife/girlfriend for some nail polish remover. (Acetone)
That should do the trick.
There are also special label residue removers available at the DIY store.

Wouldn't Acetone stand a chance of removing some of the colour from the leather?

Not if you dilute it a bit. Just stroke it clean afterwards with a water wetted towel.

Finish line Citrus degreaser is what you want

Stronger and much cheaper version of the label remover they sell in the likes of Lakeland.
Can be used diluted and lasts for ages, eco friendly too

Avaialble online here http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=36184

Or if you send me a suitable small vessel in a sae you are welcome to some.

Cheers

Drink white wine instead.

White wine, and I don't mean drink it. If you spill red wine on anything, wash it off with white wine.

Spilling red wine on your carpet is alcoholic abuse, and wast of good red wine

It might not have been a good red wine - it might have been French

Nope, not in my experience anyway. Lebanese trumps anything else I've ever come across.
