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. You could try CVNE Cava. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 13 dollars per bottle.

CVNE Cava

Pale yellow color with golden hues. Good release of tiny bubbles rising in trains which ends up forming a cheerful crown of mousse. Very elegant sparkling cava, with fruit notes and typical nuances of aging in bottle. In the mouth it is very nice, with slightly sweet points and final apple reminiscences. Good acidity and persistence. Long and complex aftertaste due to a long ageing in the bottle.
