Recommended wine: Cava, Grenache, Shiraz

Chili can be paired 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 Clos Amador Cava Tendre rosé with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 11 dollars per bottle.
