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. One wine you could try is Juve Y Camps Reserva de la Familia 40th Anniversary Cuvee Cava. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 18 dollars.
