Whoever wrote this article is not too familiar with German. Wiener means "one from Vienna (Wien)." Wein is wine. So a Weiner dog would be a wine dog, and a Wiener dog would be a Vieenese dog...aw, forget it!

Martin: And a sloppy speller, too. The preferred spelling of `weiner' is 'wIEner', although E-I is an acceptable ethnic variant.
