The canned Vienna sausage is just a version of the emulsified hot dog
or wiener (nee frankfurter). But why do we associate such sausages
with Vienna (Wien)?
I have gone to the German wikip, and learned the following: Wieners
(or Little Viennese sausages) are emulsified sausages, mixtures of
pork, beef, and lard, encased in lamb intestine the thickness of a
finger. Their creator, Johann Lahner, learned to make frankfurters in
his native Frankfurt, and emigrated to Vienna around 1800.
Now, back in Frankfurt, pork butchers were pork butchers and beef
butchers were beef butchers, and never the twain did meet (Ha!). But
in Vienna, the same butcher would handle meat from both animals, and
so Lahner got to experimenting. Today's wiener is 70% pork (including
lard) and 30% beef, with perhaps some potato starch as filler.
In Vienna, wieners come in different varieties: Sacher (from the
hotel) tea, and cocktail sizes. Also the Merano, which is spicier and
contains chunks of ham
Wikip insists there is also a cold cut sausage called wiener -- from
the bologna/mortadella/pickle and pimento loaf family. But I've been
unable to ID it.

States.

The same brands as today only years ago they didn't make them with
chicken... that started about the time stoopid turkey dawgs made their
appearance and many other poultry provisions. A number of years ago
they even started producing turkey spam for the TIAD cretins,
disgusting shit, dwarf. Forty years ago canned vienna sausage was
very different from the crud they push nowadays... today it's not
possible to buy even decent balogna, gotta make most provisions
yourself or settle. Most of the old provisions companys were long ago
swallowed up by the big conglomorates that produce shit, like Conagra.
Today the packaging is far better, vienna sausage is in neat pop top
aluminum cans, but what's inside is garbage. Even original spam is
not as good as it was when it opened with a key. I'm pretty certain
that the dwarf is a wet behind the ears youngster who has never eaten
quality food... I doubt you've reached your fiftieth birthday, punk.

Frankfurter and Wiener are the same sausages.
We here call them Frankfurter, while the Germans call them Wiener.
Other Austrian sausages ?
Burenwurst, Debreziner, Rostbratwürstel, etc.
There are more sausage varieties in Austria and Bavaria than you
can count.

You mean : available in the US ?
Over here, Frankfurter (Wiener) are made of 100% beef and pork.
