Your table looks like real wood and not veneer but be careful as the solution for the two finishes may be different.

The most recommended solution is to use a damp cloth with a small dab of white toothpaste (not gel) and rub gently. Do a little at a time to see if it is working.

Some people have had good results using furniture polish and a blow dryer (I've never tried this).

I have used Olde English scratch remover and covered the spot using a soft white cloth. This product comes in several colors so you can match your wood.

I would definitely try the toothpaste remedy first and be sure to wait an hour or so between trying different solutions.

Cooking oil has always worked for me in cases like this. You can take a few drop of cooking oil and a clean white cloth to rub it in with. Just add a few drop of cooking oil on the spot and take your cloth and gently rub the oil into the spot on the table. Continue to rub the spot with the cloth until the stain is gone. You may need to add a little more oil to the spot. Once the stain is gone you will need to clean off the excess oil.

I've had great experience removing moisture stains from wood with a mix of olive oil and apple cider vinegar. I'm not sure if alcohol stain would be much different.
