Glad to hear its working, thought it would of been a goner after trying to turn it back on while it was still wet, think you were rather lucky.
Got a tip for us?

OMG: Wine spilled onto MBP

But i did let it dry for almost 24 hours and then in the next nights again.
I'm now in almost the third day and it's all working so i guess i was lucky this time.
I did something similar but with a glass of water and my 2 month old MBP. Slapped the glass and water just filled the keyboard area... I quickly turned it off and turned it over and removed the battery. I let it sit like that for two days before trying to power it back on.
Two days later it powered on just fine and it works to this day ~1yr later. The only thing that crapped out was the keyboard, which surprised me since it was just water and I even removed the keyboard and took it all apart to let it throughly dry. Well lessoned learned, out $30 for a keyboard, and a laptop that still works.

that's the question. and i don't know where exactly it got all over.
as far as i remember the wine only poured in the bottom slit/ crack where the fn, control, alt, command and space-bar and on the side of the caps, shift and tab keys and additionally into the slit of the mouse button. but it might have drifted further over whole keyboard area.
but not sure if it even got onto logic board or only slightly or partially where it doesn't matter so much.
i do know that when i let the wine pour out i did it sideways and it came out of the headphones-jack as well as the usb hole next to it. both are totally functional still.
you are going to be screwed.
if it was water you'd be fine, water wouldn't have done much after it dried.
but wine man...its over

PHEAR!
well i'm gonna tell you how it is in a few weeks or months from now as it's all working as before so far.
The funny thing is that after it happened and i thought the world was over i had constantly this song going in my head: "hey now... hey now... doon't dreaaaaam it's oooover..."

congrats- you lucked out, though, because you don't have the unibody mbp. us with the unibodies have to be more careful because apple put a ****load of liquid detectors. i believe the previous models don't have any at all (i may be wrong, though). you should still try cleaning it out--just in case you ever need apple to service it. if they open it up and see corrosion from liquid, they'll probably void your warranty and applecare. heads up dude.
Because it might stop working later on. Corrosion doesn't happen in a week, it happens in a couple months. If you were able to get inside and clean it, you might have been able to get rid of the stains so that apple couldn't tell you spilled wine onto your comp and they wouldn't void your warranty.
Highly doubt it. From what some people said, Apple places the stickers that they place in cell phones on their computers that turn red if they get wet, dry them all you want, they aren't going to turn white again.
Aside from that, if you don't take your computer apart and clean it, it has maybe a month or two left. It is broken - you have sugars that will cause corrosion.
Month or two. Ok we'll see.
What if there's no corrosion or not really significant enough (only on very microscopic levels)?
unibody mbps are the first ones to have water indicators. the older (early 2008 and earlier) do not.
corrosion resulting from a spill would be clearly visible. not something microscopic. not to mention stains under the keyboard and under the logic board.
you are totally delusional.
its going to die, we don't know when but probably soon enough, simply because you didn't remove the wine.
you keep reassuring yourself that it won't, but you are just being a typical human.

It was an intentional misspell, the woman and her mutant offspring were both idiots.
