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 Weinert Cavas de Weinert with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 27 dollars per bottle.
