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. You could try Cava Mestres Reserva Brut 1312. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 19 dollars per bottle.
