Recommended wine: Cava, Grenache, Shiraz

Chili can be paired 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 Poema Cavan Extra Dry with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.

Shows crisp aromas of green apples, chalk and spring flowers, and fresh, tangy fruit flavors in the mouth with a trace of sweetness that is well balanced by acidity.A great aperitif, this wine also pairs with starters and savory tarts.
