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 Marques de Caceres Cava. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 16 dollars.
