Hi Grant,
Aldi is indeed your best bet. Trust me, Prosecco doesn’t get much better than this (as it's DOCG):

We bought a few bottles today (had it before), so looking forward to enjoying it again!

Nice one - I think your daughter will love it. They have two types, though (a cheaper one with a yellow label, not in the same league), so make sure you get the one with the silver label (marked DOCG on the neck), called ‘Valdobbiadene’, Superiore.
Read about about it here, which will explain the quality: http://www.prosecco.it/en/
