Cognac

When pairing wine with spicy food, it is important to consider the sweetness and structure of the wine, as well as the level of alcohol. Riesling, Mosel and Scheurebe are all good options for German white wines that can handle a range of spicy dishes. Sauvignon Blanc and Torrontes are also good choices, with the latter particularly well-suited for milder dishes. For red wine, a juicy, fruity wine with soft tannins, such as a Chilean Merlot, is a good option for chili con carne.
