Recommended wine: Cava, Grenache, Shiraz

Cava, Grenache, and Shiraz are great choices for Chili. 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 Masia de la Luz Cava Brut. It has 4.9 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 12 dollars.

Masia de la Luz Cava Brut

Lively and intense, this Cava has beautiful notes of green apple and honey as well as refreshing acidity. Perfect as an aperitif and with any seafood-inspired recipe.
