A while back, Suzanne mentioned a good book for this:

Dry sherry carries chile flavour well - just drop a few chiles into the
bottle, fresh or dried, and wait a while. (I've also seen this recommended
as a way of preserving fresh chiles - pack them into a jar and cover with
sherry.) Ginger wine infused with habs is excellent, as a liqueur-ish drink 
or a dressing on avocadoes &c.
