I currently keep my wine in the cellar where it's nice and cool all year round.
However, I'm moving in with my girlfriend and the flat has no be meant storage, only attic space.

Keeping it in the flat isn't a massive issue, but I'm concerned about the temperature.
It's Denmark, not the tropics, but still, it'll get hot in winter..

What are my options?
And perhaps more importantly, is it even an issue?
It's not like I've got 10 cases of Chateaux Margeaux or anything!

You could get a wine fridge?

Otherwise I'd not get too worried about it if it's only a small quantity that you intend to drink in the short term. As long as you're not putting it into a really hot environment you'll be ok. The issues in my view would be if you plan on storing it for years then the heat would affect it.
 
Modern flats can be a little crap for storing wine but you need to find a constant temp cool area - spare room or a cupboard somewhere. As above I wouldn't overly worry if it's for short to mid-term drinking.

At home I stick my mid-term stuff (for consumption in next 18 months) under the stairs. The immediate drinkers on / in the fridge and have a Liebherr fridge for the important bottles.

That Margaux price is decent.
