  wiener is the correct spelling, it comes from the German Wiener meaning Viennese, i.e. from Vienna, indicating a specific type of sausage originating in that city

    Hard disagree. That spelling sounds more like whiner. It’s weiner, after the surname Weiner, which is indeed German, and that whole family is a bunch of dicks.

      In German words with ie or ei diphthongs, you pronounce the English name of the second letter. So wiener is pronounced veen-uh, and Weiner is vine-uh (both very roughly).

      But that’s not how you spell wiener. I don’t know what a weiner is?
