Transtherm Beechwood Shelves 6 Pack #15805
Overview
Add more shelves to your Transtherm Bastide Cellar so that wines have their own shelf and you can avoid precariously stacking your bottles on top of one another.
Details
When a Transtherm Bastide cabinet starts filling up and bottles begin stacking on top of one another, these solid beechwood shelves are the straightforward fix. Each shelf ships with wooden dowels that let you configure it as either a fixed platform or a sliding pull-out, giving you flexibility in how you access and organize your collection. Made in France from the same beechwood Transtherm uses throughout its cabinetry, the six shelves in this pack can add up to 72 additional bottle positions to a compatible unit.
One important note before purchasing: these shelves fit the Bastide and older-model Transtherm and Castel cabinets, but are not compatible with the current Ermitage and new-style Castel models. A single Bastide cellar accepts 8–12 additional shelves; Double Bastide and Double Castel configurations can take 16–24.
Best For
- Filling out a Bastide cabinet that has open shelf capacity but not enough horizontal separation to keep bottles from rolling onto one another
- Reconfiguring a cabinet to pull out individual shelves for easy access without disturbing the rest of a horizontally stored collection
- Expanding total bottle count in a Double Bastide or Double Castel unit in stages rather than all at once
- Replacing worn or missing shelves in an older Transtherm or Castel cabinet to restore original capacity
Features
- Made of solid Beechwood
- Each shelf can be fixed or sliding
- Made in France

Q&A
Which Transtherm wine cabinets are these shelves compatible with?
A: These shelves fit Bastide wine cabinets and older-model Transtherm and Castel cabinets. They are not compatible with the newer Transtherm Ermitage and new-style Castel wine cabinets. If you’re unsure which generation your cabinet is, verify the model name before ordering — the fit difference is structural and there is no workaround.
How many of these shelves can I add to my Transtherm cabinet?
A: A standard single Transtherm Bastide or Castel cellar can accommodate 8 to 12 additional shelves. If you own a Double Bastide or Double Castel, you can add between 16 and 24 shelves. This pack of 6 is a practical starting point for a single unit, with room to add more packs as your collection grows.
What’s the bottle capacity per shelf, and how does the 72-bottle figure break down?
A: The 6-pack is rated for up to 72 bottles total, which works out to approximately 12 bottles per shelf under standard Bordeaux-style bottle sizing. The slatted beechwood design allows bottles to rest horizontally in rows, and the actual count per shelf will vary slightly depending on bottle diameter — wider Burgundy bottles may reduce the per-shelf count modestly.
Can these shelves slide out, or are they fixed in place?
A: Each shelf can be configured as either fixed or sliding by repositioning the wooden dowels built into the shelf. No tools or additional hardware are required. A sliding configuration makes it easier to access bottles stored toward the back, which is particularly useful if your cabinet is positioned against a wall.
What are the dimensions and construction of each shelf?
A: Each shelf measures 23¼” wide x 20⅞” deep x 1¼” high and is made from solid beechwood, manufactured in France. The slatted construction allows for air circulation around bottles. At a combined weight of 38.4 lbs for the set of 6, each shelf averages just over 6 lbs — substantial enough for durability without adding excessive load to the cabinet.

NOT universal shelves.
by WB
I needed replacement shelves for my Castel Trantherm. The original shelves were slotted to allow for California Cab bottles to be placed neck to neck. The replacement shelves DO NOT allow for this. These are NOT universal selves. You can only place standard chardonnay and French Bordeaux bottles neck to neck.
Flimsy shelves;good price
by Ron W.
Beechwood shelving for my Transtherms were shipped on time at a significantly lower cost than anywhere else that I could find for a 6 pack. I give kudos to IWA for free shipping and the price. The shelves on the other hand are cheaply made with staples, but that is not IWA fault.
