Recommended wine: Cava, Shiraz, Grenache

Chili works really well with Cava, Shiraz, and Grenache. 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 Avinyo Cava Brut Reserva with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.
