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).
