What Miami-Dade County does
to a wine cooler.

Where wine coolers sit in Miami-Dade County: on the water, tower living, seasonal houses.

All of Miami / South Florida

On the water

When a storm surge reaches a ground-floor bar or kitchen, a wine cooler that sat in brine stays unplugged until a technician has looked at its base and wiring, and meanwhile the bottles are wiped dry and moved to a cool, dark closet.

Tower living

Floor-to-ceiling glass in a tower lets afternoon sun reach a wine cooler set near the window, and the heat and light falling on its glass door keep the compressor running and age the wine faster, so moving it a few feet is sometimes the whole fix.

Seasonal houses

A seasonal house left with a wine cooler full of bottles is a bet that the power holds for months, and owners who cannot check in do better with a temperature alert that reaches their phone, or with the best bottles taken home.

Aventura

Waterway condos filled by seasonal residents who leave a wine cooler running from May to November, so a slow warming, a musty smell or water under the bottom rack is found only when they return.

Bal Harbour

When Bal Harbour was laid out, its utilities went underground, a first for a planned community in Florida.

Brickell

Glass towers where an undercounter wine cooler or a slim column often comes with the unit, an owner living abroad hears from building staff that its display has gone blank, and the building's generator carries the elevators rather than the wine.

Coconut Grove

Bayside houses under dense trees where a fallen limb cuts the power often, and a wine cooler on a covered porch or near an open door lives with humidity that fogs its glass on summer evenings.

Coral Gables

Mediterranean Revival houses with a home bar or a dining-room wine column holding a serious collection, whose owners want to know before hurricane season how long those bottles will keep in a closed cabinet without power.

Golden Beach

Golden Beach allows no high-rise construction and no commercial development within town limits.

Key Biscayne

A small island ordered out ahead of major storms, so a wine cooler full of bottles can sit without power for days, and returning owners check whether water reached the unit before switching it back on.

Miami Beach

Much of Miami Beach, including Star, Palm and Hibiscus islands and the Sunset Islands, was made in the 1920s from fill dredged out of Biscayne Bay.

Pinecrest

In August 1992 Hurricane Andrew devastated Pinecrest along with the surrounding south Miami-Dade area, and rebuilding took years.

Sunny Isles Beach

Once the Haulover bridge linked the area to Miami Beach in 1925, developers carved canals and inlets and shaped new islands and peninsulas for waterfront building.
