Recommended wine: Cava, Shiraz, Grenache

Chili works really well with Cava, Shiraz, and Grenache. 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 Torres Sangre de Toro Cava. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 15 dollars.

Torres Sangre de Toro Cava

Pale yellow with fine and persistent perlage. Intense. Floral and fresh fruit aromas in perfect harmony with citrus and aniseed notes. Creamy bubbles, luscious and fresh.
