Recommended wine: Cava, Grenache, Shiraz

Cava, Grenache, and Shiraz are great choices for Chili. 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. One wine you could try is Totus Tuus Cava. It has 4.3 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 18 dollars.

Totus Tuus Cava

Totus Tuus Cava shows bright aromas of peach, lemon, and orange zest, with a touch of licorice. The wine is concentrated, tactile and dense in the mouth, with a sappy, stony character to its citrus, pit fruit and anise flavors. Shows richness and vivacity in the mouth and the bright finish is long.
