Recommended wine: Cava, Grenache, Shiraz

Chili works really well 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. The Bodegas Naveran Brut Cava with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.

50% Xarel-lo, 30% Macabeo, and 20% Parellada aged for 18 months on the lees make this cava an incredible value. Delicate bubbles with a silky texture and a chalky minerality make this cava drink like NV Champagne.
