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. You could try Torres Sangre de Toro Cava. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 15 dollars per bottle.
