No, see, it’s not veeENNA, it rhymes with, er, die-henna. How do your people say it, like die-Geena? 'Cause that’s kinda weird.

That’s exactly how they say it: Vy–EE–na. I absolutely hate it, and my hubby does it just to see me shudder!
This all almost makes me want to eat one. Almost. I’m sure if I smelled a can I’d come to my senses. Well, or see some of them floatin’ white bits in the can. You know what I mean.

Also, it doesn’t matter, because when you get to Europe it’s not any of those things, it’s “Wein”. You really want to see a confused Southern family, tell them to get to Vienna when there’s no Vienna on the map!

There’s no “Wein”, either. It’s Wien, pronounced “Veen”. Your spelling would be pronounced “Vine”.
