You can buy an external laptop harddrive and put the hdd in to it and plug it into any usb port on a workstation. You can buy these from most good laptop shops

Within 5 days from the spill, do not turn on the laptop! After 5 days, may be the liquid will dry up.
Then, you can turn it on. I do not judge you need to buy an external portable drive however. If you can not turn it on, what good is the portable drive. If the wine dried up, you can turn on the laptop, later, you do not need to backup. Of course, if you will to make a complete put a bet on up of your system and all facts, you need to buy a external portable drive, may be 80GB, and backup software, later read the instruction to backup your data. If you are not acquainted to all these, I suggest that you bring it to a repair shop after 5 days. Not to rush! If you rush, the wine is not dried all the same, when the repair technician turns it on, the laptop will immediately enjoy a short. Hopefully, the sugar in that wine is not too much. Too much sugar may stick on to the key, ic board. Good Luck!
Dont turn on the system again. it may short out even more. Get a 2.5" HD enclosure, and after hook it up to a USB port.
Don't turn on the computer until you get a tech to check it out.
Put the strong drive into a new computer. It should be fine, but no guarantees.
