Recommended wine: Cava, Grenache, Shiraz

Cava, Grenache, and Shiraz are great choices 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 Marques de Caceres Cava. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 16 dollars.

Marques de Caceres Cava

Pale straw color revived by fine bubbles. Bouquet of citrus fruits with notes of brioche. Charming and round in the mouth with a refreshing, balanced structure. Lively finish that highlights its fine bubbles.A refreshing aperitif, this Cava marries well with fish and seafood, pasta, rice, spicy dishes, Asian cuisine, and all types of desserts.
