Quite a big splosh all over the keyboard and speaker holes.
I've turned it off, obviously. Anything else I should do, or just let it dry out and hope for the best?

Put it in a box surrounded with rice to draw the moisture out.
No honestly it really does work, also a good way of sorting lights out if you drop it in the washing up bowl in the middle of the night

I soaked my brand new laptop in Lemsip few weeks ago. Good news is M&S replaced it, no bother.

Pour out what you can back into your glass. If it's white you may need to put it back in the fridge for a while.

if it was white wine, pour a glass of red over it
if red - pour over white
it'll be like it never happened after that

Keep the battery out and pour de-ionised water through it. Wine is acidic, you don't want it staying inside. Most laptops have drainage channels inside to help protect sensitive components anyway.
Pack it in a sealed container with either rice (good) or packets of silica gel (better). Leave it in a warm place for several days. If you're fairly capable with computers, take out the hard disk and place it in a separate container to dry, and remove any easily accessible covers (memory etc) to improve airflow through it.
I once spilled tea all over my Macbook, it was fine afterwards except the keyboard was backlit in brown instead of white. Fortunately, Apple had to replace it for a completely unrelated reason so I got away with it.

Well, if you remember the 80’s film ‘Electric Dreams’ your laptop will now develop a personality and try and take over your life.

Was it red? If so pour white wine over it

Leave the lid open 180 degrees and face down, so any liquid can drip back out of the keyboard.
I spilt tea over my Dell laptop, keyboard never fully recovered with some keys not working, some sticking etc. Found a new replacement keyboard on ebay for about £20, just had to prise off a panel under the screen, two screws, unplug keyboard and put it all back together. 10 minutes tops.
