HOW THE CTVNE147 PROTECTS YOUR WINE
Benefitting from the latest La Sommeliere technology your wine collection is protected from UV light, vibration, heat, bad odours and humidity thanks to the solid door, anti-vibration system, temperature controls, carbon filter and constant humidity range between 50-80%.
IDEAL FOR HOME USE
The slimline and shallow depth of this wine cabinet, comparing to some others, makes it a space saver in the home and the low decibels, especially for a wine cabinet, also allows it to blend seamlessly into a home environment. The modern design is visually appealing.
FINE WINE STORAGE
The CTVNE147 can be set between 5-20°C which gives great flexibility in storage. Champagne, red and white wines can all be stored at 12°C however, individual oenophiles may prefer to have their reds at slightly different long term maturation temperatures to their whites and if so the temperature can be adjusted to suit. This wine cabinet may be quite shallow at 60cm but it can still hold all bottle types including Champagne bottles and magnums.

PROS AND CONS - COOLERSOMM'S OPINION
The CTVNE147, a single zone wine fridge from La Sommeliere, features a substantial capacity priced below £1100 and boasts a reputable and reliable brand name. This model is ideal for individuals with a significant collection of wines to age over an extended period and can be installed in residential, garage, or exterior storage areas, thanks to its winter system. Designed specifically for wine maturation, this cabinet includes a charcoal filter for air purification and precise temperature control zones.
Aesthetically attractive and upgraded in 2024 to be even quieter at 39dB and energy efficient too, this wine cellar is efficient to run as well as economical to buy. A key benefit is the door reversal ability which is rare in big wine cabinets.
A drawback of this model is that it doesn't have a lock and the shelving is wooden fronted wire shelves compared to fully wooden shelves of some other wine fridges, however, this is where the cost saving comes from.
