Recommended wine: Cava, Grenache, Shiraz

Chili works really well with Cava, Grenache, and Shiraz. These juicy reds don't have too much tannin (important for spicy foods), but a sparkling wine like cava can tame the heat even better. The Papet del Mas Cava Brut with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.

Pleasant fruit aromas and a bright, clear color. The taste sensation in the mouth is very pleasant, light and well balanced, fresh and very cheerful feeling, good persistence, with fruit and flower notes. The aftertaste invites you to continue savoring the wine.
