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. One wine you could try is Caves Roger Goulart Gran Reserva Cava. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 23 dollars.
