Cave Creek Chili Beer (above) is made with a “chili pepper added.” Near as we can tell, the Kansas Hot Pepper Wine is made mainly or solely from hot peppers. The labeling tends to suggest it’s fermented from peppers. But the form tends to suggest it is flavored grape wine (and this seems a bit more likely).
Cave Creek is made in Mexico and imported by Alta Marketing of Redlands, California. Hot Cha Cha is produced and bottled by Dozier Vineyard & Winery of Ellinwood, Kansas.

The Hot Cha Cha Pepper Wine is indeed made with 4 kinds of peppers. Jalapeno, Bell, Banana & Anaheim Peppers. There is no grape in it, it is strictly peppers. It is wonderful for cooking and there are those who like to drink it. It is very hot, but in cooking it mellows out and leaves a pepper hint. It marinates meat wonderfully.
