It didn't finish in that it crashed out?
Did you use update manager or do-release-upgrade to perform the upgrade?

have been a broken wine package, sure, but there's probably some other
reason for the upgrade stopping.

Can you get to a recovery mode kernel? In the grub menu choose the
second kernel down, which should bring you to a menu in which you can
choose to open a root prompt.
