Exact solution of the KWI model shows critical point wetting is absent when local XY symmetry is present, with microscopic density profiles mapping conformally to macroscopic drop shapes obeying the Neumann triangle.
The above analysis can be generalized to determine the density profiles for the generalαγpath at wetting or equivalently the separateαβandβγpaths that meet at a right angle

The exact solution of the Koga-Widom-Indekeu model and related models of wetting in fluid mixtures
