Transtherm Castel Glass Door Cabinet #17050
If your collection has outgrown a kitchen cooler and you want storage that behaves more like a true cellar, the Transtherm Castel with glass door and brushed aluminum trim is a serious step up. It is built to hold a large core of age-worthy bottles while keeping a couple of smaller zones ready for whites and sparkling, all with tight temperature control and low noise.
Unlike many cabinets that only cool, the Castel also heats so it can run in unconditioned spaces with seasonal swings, from 32 to 95°F. As configured it stores 165 bottles on 10 adjustable rolling shelves plus a half shelf, with a published maximum capacity of 209 bottles depending on how you load and configure it. Humidity management, alarms for temperature and humidity and vibration control are part of the package, and the upgraded aluminum interior is designed for long-term stability.
