I once spilled half a glass of red wine all over my M1 MacBook Air keyboard. The fix involved quickly turning it upside down, sponging it off, and letting it dry out. OK, some of the affected keys were rather sticky afterwards and required popping off the keycaps and cleaning underneath. Some of them are still not perfect and I need to have another go with some isopropyl alcohol. But it certainly didn't require buying a replacement keyboard!
