When it comes to storing wine properly, the fridge you choose matters. For wine lovers, collectors, and design professionals alike, Transtherm offers one of the most reliable and elegant solutions on the market. With a reputation rooted in French craftsmanship and a product line engineered for long-term ageing and stylish presentation, the Transtherm collection is a standout option for both homes and hospitality spaces.
VintageView is proud to offer Transtherm as the newest addition to our wine storage lineup. These fridges perfectly complement our label-forward racking systems by giving our customers an all-in-one solution for wine preservation and display. Whether you're upgrading a home cellar or designing a full-scale wine room, Transtherm delivers professional-grade performance in a beautifully crafted format.
A Legacy of Wine Storage Excellence
Transtherm was developed by the makers of EuroCave, a brand known for pioneering advanced wine preservation technology. Designed and manufactured in France, Transtherm fridges are built to replicate the stable, quiet, and dark conditions of a natural wine cellar without requiring one to be built.
From silent operation to superior insulation and refined design, every detail reflects the needs of the modern wine enthusiast.
Meet the Models: Loft vs. Ermitage
The Loft and Ermitage models serve different spaces and needs, but both are engineered with the same Transtherm quality and precision.
Transtherm Loft
The Loft is the more compact of the two. With a height of just 960mm, it fits beautifully into kitchens, apartments, and smaller boutique-style settings. Don’t let its size fool you though, the Loft holds up to 92 bottles in its single configuration and up to 184 bottles when placed in a side-by-side layout.
Transtherm Ermitage
The Ermitage is the taller, full-height option, standing at 1825mm. It’s ideal for custom cellars, hospitality spaces, or dedicated wine rooms. A single Ermitage unit stores up to 234 bottles, while the double configuration accommodates a remarkable 468 bottles.
Premium Features That Set Transtherm Apart
What makes these fridges truly exceptional is what’s happening inside.
- Single-zone temperature control, adjustable from 43°F to 64°F, allows you to age or serve wine at ideal conditions.
- Silent compressors, mounted on vibration-absorbing blocks, protect wine from movement and noise.
- Full glass doors are insulated with argon gas and block 97% of UV rays, combining protection with sleek aesthetics.
- Integrated humidity regulation maintains consistent levels ideal for ageing, preventing corks from drying out and ensuring your wine matures exactly as intended.
The interior layout is designed with flexibility in mind. Every model includes full sliding beechwood shelves that can be rearranged to accommodate Bordeaux, Burgundy, Alsace, and even Champagne bottles.
Lighting is customizable: choose from always on, sensor-activated, or off. Doors are lockable and come with reversible hinges, so they can open to the left or right depending on your space.
Who Is Transtherm Designed For?
While Transtherm is absolutely suitable for casual wine lovers, its ideal customer is someone who values both performance and design. These fridges are perfect for:
- Homeowners creating a wine corner or building a cellar
- Interior designers and builders looking for seamless wine storage options
- Boutique hospitality venues that want professional-grade preservation in a stylish form
- Collectors who need long-term, silent, reliable ageing without building a full cellar
The Loft is especially well-suited to more space-conscious clients or projects with size constraints. It’s compact, but still offers the same powerful preservation features. The Ermitage, on the other hand, makes a beautiful and functional statement in larger cellars or wine displays.
Designing With Transtherm
One of the reasons our team loves offering Transtherm is its design flexibility. These fridges can be freestanding or built into cabinetry. Their sleek, minimalist aesthetic pairs beautifully with a range of design styles, from modern to transitional.
Side-by-side installations are a popular choice for customers who want a symmetrical look or need more capacity. Whether you’re working with a 92-bottle Loft or a 468-bottle Ermitage Double, Transtherm allows you to scale your wine storage to your space.
Plus, with handle-free glass doors and recessed hinges, each unit maintains a clean silhouette without visual bulk. And because the hinge can be positioned on either the left or right side, you can match the unit perfectly to your layout.
Final Thoughts
When it comes to wine storage, Transtherm delivers on every front: performance, protection, design, and flexibility. With models suited to both compact urban kitchens and expansive home cellars, it’s no wonder these fridges have become a go-to for collectors, designers, and hospitality professionals around the world.
