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 Cava Mestres Reserva Brut 1312. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 19 dollars.
