Recommended wine: Cava, Grenache, Shiraz

Cava, Grenache, and Shiraz are my top picks 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. You could try Weinert Cavas de Weinert. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 27 dollars per bottle.
