Recommended wine: Cava, Grenache, Shiraz

Cava, Grenache, and Shiraz are my top picks 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 Cava Mestres Reserva Brut 1312. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 19 dollars.

Pale Straw yellow in color with visible green highlights and fine, elegant bubbles. A clear reflection of the vintage: delicate finesse with intense aromas of white fruit, flowers and fresh cut herbs. On the palate it is fresh, revealing a great balance of sweetness and acidity. Pleasant and easy to drink.
